The Mission of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)

To be and to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, witnessing, loving and serving from our doorsteps "to the ends of the earth."
(Acts 1:8)

The church is identified with the Protestant “mainstream” and is widely involved in social and other concerns. Disciples have supported vigorously world and national programs of education, agricultural assistance, racial reconciliation, care of the developmentally disabled and aid to victims of war and calamity.

The denomination now counts about 700,000 members in the United States and Canada in about 3,700 congregations. Numerically, the strength of the Disciples of Christ runs in a broad arc that sweeps from Ohio and Kentucky through the Midwest and down into Oklahoma and Texas.

 In Virginia, there are approximately 16,124 participating members. Congregations are located within 12 regions across the state.

Chalice

 

The red chalice is an integral image in the Disciples of Christ denomination. The chalice represents the centrality of communion to the life of the church. The cross of St. Andrew is a reminder of the ministry of each person and the importance of evangelism, and it recalls the denomination's Scottish Presbyterian ancestry. The symbol was designed in 1969.

Because most congregations call themselves "Christian Churches", the chalice has become a simple way to identify Disciples of Christ Churches through signage, letterhead, and other forms of publicity.
