We Are Disciples Of Christ

 

Our Mission

As a Catholic Men’s Fellowship, it is our mission to support one another in our commitment to forming a deep, personal relationship with Jesus, and to grow in our Catholic Faith.

Inspired by The Holy Spirit, we come together as Disciples of Christ, and, through prayer, study, sharing our personal stories and discussion, help each other towards a deeper knowledge of God’s will for us and the living out of our discipleship.

By allowing God’s love to flow through us, we bring a renewed faith and God’s love to all those we encounter.

Our Faith

Apostles Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth;

and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord,

Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead;

He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting.
