BAPTISM BY IMMERSIONIn baptism, the self-centered life is set aside, washed away and a new life of trust in God begins. Although Disciples practice baptism by immersion, other baptism traditions are honored. THE MINISTRY OF BELIEVERSBoth ordained ministers, and lay persons lead in worship, service and spiritual growth.And above all that, Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God, who offers saving grace to all who seek it through His Son.
