Blaine Christian Church

                       We share the following affirmation from the preamble of the                             Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).

• As members of the Christian Church, we confess that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the Living God, and proclaim him Lord and Savior of the world.  In Christ’s name and by His grace we accept our mission of witness and service to all people. 

• We rejoice in God, maker of heaven and earth, and in the covenant of love which binds us to God and one another.

• Through baptism into Christ we enter into the newness of life and are made one with the whole people of God.

• In the communion of the Holy Spirit we are joined together in discipleship and in obedience to Christ.

• At the table of the Lord we celebrate with thanksgiving the serving acts and presence of Christ.

• Within the Universal Church we receive the gift of ministry and the light of scripture.

• In the bonds of Christian faith we yield ourselves to God that we may serve the one whose kingdom has no end.
