Description edit
Born in the early 1800s, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is the first Protestant movement founded on American soil. Its symbol of the chalice emphasizes the central place of communion in worship, as well as the Scottish Presbyterian roots of the denomination (the cross of St. Andrew). Disciples confess their faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and seek unity among all believers.
Opposing divisions within the church universal and barriers around the Lord's Supper, Presbyterian ministers Thomas and Alexander Campbell, and Barton Stone set out to restore unity to the church by preaching and teaching New Testament practices. In 1832, after about a quarter of a century of separate development, the Campbell and Stone movements merged after discovering that they were proclaiming a similar message and vision for the church.
- Disciples hold no official doctrine. Believers are free to determine individual belief guided by the Bible, the Holy Spirit, prayer and participation in the life of the church.
