I’M NEW TO FCC MAYFIELD

Join us for breakfast every Sunday Morning at 9:00 a.m. in the church Fellowship Hall.  Following breakfast, we begin Sunday School.  There are classes for all ages.
Worship begins at 10:00 a.m. each Sunday.  We have no dress code!  Dress the way that fits you best.  Our worship service is traditional yet spirit-filled.  Be prepared to laugh, pray, cry, give and receive a hug, and hear the word of God.  Each Sunday we celebrate  Communion.  Our communion celebration is open to everyone.

 

WHAT WE BELIEVE

This confession is the opening paragraph in the Preamble to the Design of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).  It is used by many Disciples congregations in worship as an affirmation of the faith of the church throughout the ages – not as a “test of fellowship,” but as a statement of faith that identifies the Disciples’ commitment to and place within the universal and ecumenical church.

As members of the Christian Church,
We confess that Jesus is the Christ,
the Son of the living God,
and proclaim him Lord and Savior of the world.
In Christ’s name and by his grace
we accept our mission of witness
and service to all people.
We rejoice in God,
maker of heaven and earth,
and in God’s covenant of love
which binds us to God and to one another.
Through baptism into Christ
we enter into newness of life
and are made one with the whole people of God.
In the communion of the Holy Spirit
we are joined together in discipleship
and in obedience to Christ.
At the Table of the Lord
we celebrate with thanksgiving
the saving acts and presence of Christ.
Within the universal church
we receive the gift of ministry
and the light of scripture.
In the bonds of Christian faith
we yield ourselves to God
that we may serve the One
whose kingdom has no end.
Blessing, glory, and honor
be to God forever. Amen.
