Ashland Terrace Christian Church

We are a part of the Christian Church (Disciples Christ), commonly called simply “Disciples.” As a denomination, we trace our history back to the American frontier of the early 1800’s. Two separate groups (Barton Stone with the “Christians” in Kentucky, and Alexander and Thomas Campbell with the “Disciples” in Pennsylvania/Ohio) naturally formed over a similar idea: a divided and often hostile church was not God’s plan in the New Testament. They strove to create a unified church for all Christians, and soon combined their efforts.

Our Identity

We are Disciples of Christ, 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.

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

In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.
