New Hope Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)

Open Communion

The Lord’s Supper or Communion is celebrated in weekly worship 
and is open to all who believe in Jesus Christ.

The Oneness of the Church

All Christians are called to be one in Christ and to seek opportunities
 for common witness and service

Freedom of Belief

As Disciples we are called together around two essentials of faith: 
a belief in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior,
 and that Christians are free to follow their conscience 
guided by Bible study, the Holy Spirit and prayer.
We are expected to extend the same freedom to others.

Baptism by Immersion

In baptism the old self-centered life is set aside. Washed away,
 and a new life of trust in God begins.
Although Disciples practice baptism by immersion, 
other baptism traditions are honored.

The Ministry of Believers

Both ministers and lay persons lead in worship, service, and spiritual growth.

And above all that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God.
Who offers saving grace to all who seek it through His Son.
