1. We believe that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. This statement is more than words or simply a confession of faith. It is the only question we ask when one wishes to affiliate with Geist Christian Church and our faith is expressed out of this simple confession.  There are no other creeds or confessions that act as a “test of faith.”

2. We believe that The Lord’s Table is an open and inclusive table. Communion, which we celebrate weekly, is open to all who confess Jesus as the Christ. The table is a symbol of our hospitality with Christ as our example.  When we partake, we are asked to examine ourselves, to make our confession, and to commit to a deeper form of our spiritual journey.

3. We believe in the ministry of all believers. While there are ministers on the staff, each member and participant of the church is gifted in many ways; each is a minister of the church. We seek to use our gifts corporately, as the body of Christ.

4. We believe in the love of unity. Recognized or not, we are in relation to one another. “Unity is our polar star” has been a theme of the Disciples. We believe that we are to work together as denominations to be the witnesses of Christ.

5. We believe in the justice of God. We are called to love and serve all of God’s people. We serve the marginalized and distressed in our community and around the world.
