https://disciples.org/our-identity/our-confession/
This confession is the opening paragraph in the Preamble to the Design of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
It is used by many Disciples congregations in worship as an affirmation of the faith of the church throughout the ages – not as a “test of fellowship,” but as a statement of faith that identifies the Disciples’ commitment to and place within the universal and ecumenical church.
