History
First Christian Church of Kent is a congregation of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and has
been serving the community faithfully since 1915.
What do the Disciples Believe?
Like most Christians, Disciples Affirm:
Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God, and offers
saving grace to all.
All persons are God's children.
Disciples also believe and practice:
Open Communion.  The Lord's Supper, or Communion
is celebrated in weekly worship.  It is open to all who
believe in Jesus Christ.
Freedom of Belief.  Disciples are called together around
one essential of faith; belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and
Savior.  Persons are free to follow their consciences
guided by the Bible, the Holy Spirit, study and prayer, and
are expected to extend that freedom to others.
Baptism by Immersion.  In baptism the old self-centered
life is set aside, and a new life or trust in God begins.  
Although Disciples practice baptism by immersion, other
baptism traditions are honored.
Belief in the Oneness of the Church.  All Christians are
called to be one in Christ and to seek opportunities for
common witness and service.
Ministry of Believers.  Both ministers and laypersons
lead in worship, service, and spiritual growth
