Who we are
We exist to Love All, Serve All, and Pray For All. We are a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world. We seek to be an open-minded church where all can come before God as we are; imperfect and in need of God's love in Jesus Christ. We are not always going to agree with each other on every matter of faith. However, we will try to be as understanding, actively listening, and accepting of all people.
What Disciples Believe
Open Communion The Lord's Supper is celebrated weekly and is open to all who believe in Jesus Christ.
The Oneness of the Church All Christians are called to be one in Christ and to seek opportunities for common witness and service.
Freedom of Belief We are called together in a belief in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and that Christians are free to follow their conscience guided by Bible study, the Holy Spirit and prayer to extend that freedom to others.
Baptism by Immersion In baptism, the old self-centered life is set aside, washed away and a new life of trust in God begins. Although we practice baptism by immersion, we accept other churches practices in member transfers.
The Ministry of Believers
Ministers and members lead in worship, service, and spiritual growth. And above all that, Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God who offers saving grace to all who seek it through God's Son.

Central Christian Church History
In 1898 the C.B. Bondurant family established a Sunday School and Church program in their home. A year later, in 1899, the Spring Creek Church was built. At the same time, in the City of Kalispell, other members were trying to establish a church and in 1901 a Sunday School, Ladies Aid Society and church with 51 members had been organized. In 1908, a building was erected at the present day site, the Spring Creek Church and the Kalispell church joined together and were incorporated as Central Christian Church.
Central Christian Church is in covenantal relationship with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada. The Disciples of Christ movement is the first denomination established in the United States by Scottish Presbyterian Ministers - Thomas and Alexander Campbell, American Born Presbyterian Minister - Barton Stone, along with Methodist and Baptist faith backgrounds. Disciples have traditionally endeavored to increase respect, understanding, and unity among all believers. As Disciples, we strive to remain obedient to the teachings of Christ by practicing a faith which is socially relevant and intellectually sound. Members are bound together in fellowship and service by belief in the New Testament; "Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God." In other matters, we recognize the right to exercise freedom of opinion. This principle is a sustaining force in the life of Disciples. Our symbol is a chalice with an "x"-shaped cross of St. Andrew. It expresses the centrality of the Lord's Supper and the church's roots in Scotland where Andrew is patron saint.
While we are proud of our heritage, we are more interested in the future. We seek to practice and expand a faith devoted to God's peace and justice while furthering among all our members and friends a knowledge of the Gospel and Jesus Christ in whom we believe.

God's Promise
Jesus gave His life so that you do not have to carry your burden. He knows this burden hinders you from having eternal life. He knows your sin burden hinders you from living the abundant life that God created you to live. He knows your sin hinders you from experiencing joy and peace that has no bounds and hinders you from receiving all that God has promised and created you to receive.
You just have to ask.
