No creed but Christ, no book but the Bible, no law but love, no name but the divine. The Lord's supper, or Communion, is open to all Christians. It is celebrated weekly as the central part of worship. Lay persons regularly preside over Communion. Congregations accept members on simple confession of belief in Jesus Christ.
Immersion is the form, though many receive members baptized by others methods.
Creeds are seldom used and never as tests of correct belief. The church is related to 25 higher education institutions. The largest of these are Texas Christian, Drury and Chapman University. There are seven seminaries and foundation houses. General offices of the church are located in Indianapolis, Indiana.
