Who We Are
We are a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world. As part of the one Body of Christ, we welcome all to the Lord’s Table as God has welcomed us.
We are a movement of more than 3,000 congregations in the United States and Canada, committed to sharing the limitless love of God throughout the world. We worship in over 17 languages, in a variety of styles and settings. We are related to 15 colleges and universities and 7 seminaries and divinity houses where new leaders are nurtured.
Our 31 regions, 14 general ministries, and ministry partners throughout the world make it possible for us to love and serve our neighbors from our doorsteps to the ends of the earth.
Our Vision
To be a faithful, growing church that demonstrates true community, deep Christian spirituality, and a passion for justice. — Micah 6:8
Our Mission
To be and to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, witnessing, loving, and serving from our doorsteps “to the ends of the earth.” — Acts 1:8
Our Heritage
Murray Hills Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) began in 1951 in the Cedar Hills area. Our founders recognized the need for a progressive Christian church in the community, one that welcomed women in positions of leadership. That founding principle of ensuring marginalized people find a place to thrive and lead continues today.
Cedar Hills was our home from 1951 to 1989, and our current Murray Hills location has been home ever since. Our sanctuary was designed by renowned architect Pietro Belluschi.
