The Woodlands Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) What We Believe
Jesus is Christ Scripture bears witness that in Jesus God has reconciled the world to himself. As our Messiah, Jesus is God's anointed for our salvation.Open Communion The Lord's Supper is celebrated in weekly worship and it 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 BeliefWe believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (Matthew 16:16). We also believe that Christians are free to follow their conscience guided by Bible study, the Holy Spirit, reason and prayer. We are expected by God to extend that freedom to others.Importance of Scripture We believe scripture bears witness to God's Word, who is Jesus Christ. The Bible is a living witness that can be interpreted faithfully in light of history, tradition, and the light of human reason. The biblical witness affirms God's love for creation, acknowledges the depths of human sinfulness and the pain of division, and tells the story of salvation.Baptism by Immersion In baptism, the old self-centered life is set aside, washed away, and a new life of trust in God begins. We practice baptism by immersion while respecting and acknowledging other baptismal traditions.The Ministry of Belivers Both clergy and laypersons lead in worship, service, and spiritual growth.Making DisciplesIt is Jesus' commandment to go to every nation and teach people about the love of God in Jesus Christ. Discipleship is regular and continuous growth into spiritual maturity, "learning from Christ how to lead our lives as he would lead it if he were us" (from Renovare).Disciples are known by the "fruit" they bear, a transformed life dedicated to becoming like Christ in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5.22). Those who show the fruit of the Spirit then spread the good news of Jesus Christ, encourage others in their growing faith as they become Christ's disciples as well.We make disciples through infant, children's, youth, and adult classes at 10:00 a.m. every Sunday morning, the God's Kids weekday Preschool, Vacation Bible School, weekly Bible studies, membership classes, and fellowship groups for all ages.We also make disciples through encouraging and supporting a new Disciples of Christ congregation starting up in the Magnolia-Tomball area.
