Community Christian Church, Richardson, TX

As a Disciples of Christ congregation, we have the usual mix of politically and religiously conservative and liberal. We have teachers, engineers, accountants, counselors, coaches, pilots, business owners, office workers, sales folks, and even a tennis pro. We even have two or three clergy as a part of our church family. Our collective DNA as Disciples through reminds us, invites us, and even challenges us at times to treasure the gift we have-that all of us are welcomed to the Communion Table by Christ Jesus. There is no test of faith or preconditions that we must meet other than a belief that Jesus is God's Christ and that it is he who invites us to come and share the table. We all come as guests. We all come as family members of God's family. You are invited to come and experience our unique hospitality and character blended through the message, mission, love and compassion of the gospel of Jesus. As we learn and grow together, we invite you to come and be an important part of this community of faith. Allow us to each share our gifts alongside yours so that we might encourage a strong confidence and trust in God's presence and guidance each day. Whether our journey together is long or short, we will strive to worship and serve faithfully here and in our community, our nation, our world, and online in the name of Jesus our Lord.

From our formation as the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), we have resisted anything in the way of a creed or doctrine of faith. They have for generations been used to guide people's beliefs, but they have also been divisive. Our founders sought a way to make it possible for all people to be able to come to the table of our Lord Jesus as one gathered body of believers. Therefore our only requirements for membership are to make a confession of faith that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, to accept Him as Lord and Savior and to be baptized, if you have not been previously baptized.

Through the years, we have used slogans to help guide us in our pursuit of faith and service. Here are a few of the slogans that have served us through the years.

"Where the Scriptures speak, we speak; where the Scriptures are silent, we are silent." Thomas Campbell

"The Church of Jesus Christ on earth is essentially, intentionally, and constitutionally one." Thomas Campbell

"We are Christians only, but not the only Christians." Barton Stone

"Let Christian unity be our polar star." Barton Stone

"In essentials unity; in opinions liberty, in all things love." Peter Meiderlin- 17th century Lutheran theologian

"No creed but Christ, no book but the Bible, no law but love, no name but the divine."
