Our Affirmation
We, the members of St. Thomas Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), confess that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the Living God and proclaim him Lord and Savior. We believe the mission of the St. Thomas Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is:
1. To worship God by gathering weekly around the Lord's table and committing ourselves to Christian unity.
2. To seek to know God and to make God known through study and teaching of the Scriptures.
3. To create a tolerant faith community that invites and cares for all of God's people.
The Chalice
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. The chalice points to the centrality of the Lord's Supper in the life and worship of the Disciples who celebrate Communion each Sunday. The Lord's Supper is open to Christians of all persuasions and has been characteristic of the church from its beginning in the early nineteenth century. The Cross of St. Andrew, 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.
