About Vine Stree Christian Church

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come - thy will be done ON EARTH as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us OUR sins, as we forgive those who sin against US
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen

Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow; praise him, all creatures here below; praise him above ye heavenly host: Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), while founded on American soil in the early 1800s, is uniquely equipped to live up to its identity that it is a "movement for wholeness in a fragmented world." The denomination was born in the 1800s, and continues to be influenced by
its founding ideals of our unity in Christ with openness and diversity in practice and belief.
The Disciples Vision, Mission, Imperative and Covenant statement calls the communion to be a faithful, growing church that demonstrates true community, deep Christian spirituality and a passion for justice.The Design of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)

Disciples of Christ Statement Of Identity
We are Disciples of Christ, a movement for wholeness
in a fragmented world. As part of the one body of Christ, we welcome all to the Lord's Table as God has welcomed us.
