About
We are God’s beloved community of diverse and vibrant Disciple congregations making a difference locally and globally for Christ (Ephesians 3:16-21).
We Call Ourselves Disciples
We are one of 31 Regional Churches within the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the U.S. and Canada. As part of our denomination, we strive to strengthen and support the Disciples congregations within our region, the Christian Church in Georgia. The relationship between the national church (sometimes called the General Church), Regional Churches, and Congregations within our denomination is a covenantal one. Together we claim “We are Disciples of Christ, a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world. As part of the one body of Christ, we welcome all to the Lord’s Table as God has welcomed us.” Learn more about the Disciples of Christ.
A Disciples Affirmation
As members of the Christian Church,
We confess that Jesus is the Christ,
the Son of the living God,
and proclaim him Lord and Savior of the world.
In Christ’s name and by his grace
we accept our mission of witness
and service to all people.
We rejoice in God,
maker of heaven and earth,
and in God’s covenant of love
which binds us to God and to one another.
Through baptism into Christ
we enter into newness of life
and are made one with
the whole people of God.
In the communion of the Holy Spirit
we are joined together in discipleship
and in obedience to Christ.
At the Table of the Lord
we celebrate with thanksgiving
the saving acts and presence of Christ.
Within the universal church
we receive the gift of ministry
and the light of scripture.
In the bonds of Christian faith
we yield ourselves to God
that we may serve the One
whose kingdom has no end.
Blessing, glory, and honor
be to God forever. Amen.
