James 1:22 (NLT) 
    And remember, it is a message to obey, not just to listen to. If you don't obey, you are only fooling yourself.

John 3:15-17 (NLT) 
    so that everyone who believes in me will have eternal life.
    [16] "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. [17] God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.

Who we are

The Disciples of Christ, or Christian Church, is part of the largest religious movement to have originated in the United States. The church numbers approximately 1.1 million members in the United States and Canada, and does overseas work in many other countries. The church had its beginnings in Kentucky and western Pennsylvania in 1804 - 09.

Kentucky Presbyterian minister Barton W Stone and others who shared his liberal views on pulpit freedom and on associations across denominational lines withdrew from the Presbyterians to become "Christian only." Pennsylvanian Thomas Campbell split with the Presbyterians over his right to serve the Lord's Supper to Christians of different persuasions. The two groups united in 1832 as Campbell's son Alexander Campbell became the prominent figure in the movement.

In the 20th century there have been two separations: finding the "law" of Christian life exclusively in the New Testament, the Churches of Christ objected to musical instruments in worship and officially withdrew in 1906; the North American Christian Convention, another conservative faction, pulled away gradually between 1926 and 1969 and became known as the Christian Churches and Churches of Christ. In 1968 the mainstream of the Disciples of Christ restructured itself, with a General Assembly directing operations.

Due to their origin as a protest against denominational exclusiveness, the Disciples are characterized by a commitment to interdenominational activity, autonomy in its levels of polity, and general liberality. They claim to have no official doctrine; membership ordinarily requires only a confession of belief in Jesus Christ and subsequent baptism by immersion of its adult believers. The custom is to have the Lord's Supper central to every worship service and to have lay people regularly preside. Its General Assembly argues social, political, and moral positions with the understanding that no one can be bound by its decisions. The church has ordained women almost since its inception.
