Like most Christians, Disciples affirm:
 |
Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God, and offers grace to all.
|
 |
All persons are God's Children.
|
Beliefs and Practices
usually associated with Disciples include:
Open Communion.
The Lord's Supper, or Communion, is celebrated in weekly worship.
It is open to all who believe in Jesus Christ.
Freedom of
belief
Disciples are called together around one essential of faith; believe in
Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Persons are free to follow their
consciences guided by the Bible, the Holy Spirit study and prayer,
and are expected to
extend that freedom to others.
Baptism by
Immersion.
In baptism the old self-centered life is set aside, and a new life of
trust in
God begins. Although Disciples practice baptism by immersion,
other baptism traditions are honored.
Belief in the
oneness of the Church.
All Christians are called to be one in Christ and to seek opportunities
for common witness and service.
The Ministry
of Believers
Both
ministers and lay persons lead in worship, service and spiritual
growth.
Diversity of Opinion.
Importance of Church Unity.
All Christians should cooperate in ministry wherever possible, affirming
each other as sisters and brothers in Christ.
The purpose of this church shall be as revealed in the New Testament to
win people to faith in Jesus Christ and commit them actively to the
Church. To help them grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ
that increasingly they may know and do His will and to work for the
unity of all Christians and with them engage in the common task of
building the Kingdom of God.
We invite each and every person who attends our services to be a part of
this ministry called Daytona Beach Drive-In Christian Church. At
the conclusion of each worship service, we offer believers in Our Lord,
an opportunity to become a part of this fellowship either by
becoming a full member or an associate member.
