Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)

The website of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Seeking to move beyond denominational disagreements, in the early 1800s the church founders envisioned a united church of Jesus Christ modeled on the New Testament. Today our nearly 3,800 congregations still share these characteristics: each congregation is self-governing and calls its own pastor; worship services may be formal or informal, and include lay women and men in leadership; and open discussion of issues is encouraged. Diversity of opinion is common. We are growing in racial and ethnic diversity.
