The symbol of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is a simple red chalice bearing the Cross of St. Andrew across the left side of the bowl. Long associated with the Disciples of Christ as a symbol, the chalice points to the centrality of the Lord's Supper in the life of worship in the Disciples, who celebrate communion each Sunday.

A Lord's Supper open to Christians of all persuasions has been characteristic of the church from its beginning in the early nineteenth century. The cross of St. Andrew, the national cross of Scotland, focuses attention on the Presbyterian roots of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ. The color red signifies vitality, spirit, and sacrifice. 

The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) belongs to one of the largest movements to have originated in the United States. The church consists of over 800,000 members in nearly 4,300 congregations across the United States and Canada.

A group simply called "Christians", led by Barton W. Stone, a Presbyterian minister, and "the Disciples" led by another Presbyterian minister, Thomas Campbell and his son Alexander, merged in 1832, forming the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).

While the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) does stress freedom and diversity among its members, we do share some basic beliefs. We affirm the Bible is God's Word, which is a guide for Christian living and faith that it truly reveals God's purpose and will in the world. We believe in salvation through the grace of God and by faith of the individual.

We believe that each person experiences God in many ways. We cannot therefore, dictate how one must interpret the Bible or how God must be experienced. As the term "Disciples" indicated, we are "learners" and "followers" of God. We do not profess to have the final word of faith and practice.

In the Disciples' church, we have two ordinances, instituted by Christ himself. The first is BAPTISM by immersion, for mature individuals who are old enough to make their own decisions upon their public confession of faith in Jesus Christ. The second is the LORD'S SUPPER or HOLY COMMUNION, celebrated every Lord's Day, and is the heart of our worship service. It is celebrated in remembrance of Christ and Christ's life on earth, drawing the congregation together and offering thanksgiving for the forgiveness of sins and the renewal of life.
