As Disciples of Christ we number ourselves among other liberal "main-line" denominations. We are partners with the United Church of Christ, and are a part of Churches Uniting in Christ, which includes such denominations as United Methodist, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A), and Episcopal.

At Lake Washington Christian Church we value diversity of belief and opinion, and encourage all Christians to study the scriptures for themselves. While we have no creed or set doctrine we are united in our belief that "Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, the Savior of the World."

In our worship we observe two ordinances established by Jesus – The Lord's Supper and Baptism. We celebrate the Lord's Supper (also called Breaking Bread or Communion), every Sunday as we gather to worship. The communion table is open to all who believe in Jesus Christ, regardless of church affiliation. We believe that it is Christ's table so we invite all to participate.

Baptism of those coming to faith in Jesus is by immersion (an individual is lowered completely under water). Persons who have previously been baptized may become members of our church by making a public confession of faith in Jesus. While it is not our practice to "sprinkle" or baptize infants, we respect all forms of baptism, and do not require any "re-baptism" of those who have been baptized in this way and now wish to join our congregation.

At Lake Washington, we believe in service in Christ's name. Our lay leadership supports the professional staff in ministry to the congregation. And we also support a variety of local and regional ministries through the larger church.

It is important, no matter what your age or interests, that you find a place to fit in your church home. We offer a variety of studies, fellowships and opportunities to work with people of all ages and interests.

While Disciples honor no human-made creed, the Preamble to The Design for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) serves as a statement of faith that poetically and prayerfully expresses our shared affirmations.
