The Discipline is our "manual of operations," stating what we believe on various issues, how we are organized, and how we operate as a church. The entire document can be downloaded as a single PDF file. Or you can view the individual chapters online .

The Discipline is the main organizational document for the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, USA. It contains our rules of doctrine, our Constitution, our moral and social standards, and the by-laws which govern how we operate. The Discipline is published every two years after meetings of the United States National Conference.

The information falls into three categories.

The Church of the United Brethren in Christ, International, is characterized by these core values:

We Adhere to the Confession of Faith

The United Brethren Confession of Faith, adopted in 1815, states the core doctrinal beliefs to which all United Brethren conferences, churches, and members must adhere. On many theological and social issues, people of equal Christian commitment and insight may interpret the Bible differently, and we allow room for that. But when it comes to the simple statements contained in the Confession of Faith—on God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Church, the Bible, salvation, and the ordinances—we do not allow diversity. As such, it is our denomination's key unifying document, our line in the sand which must not be crossed.

The United Brethren Confession of Faith was adopted in 1815 and has never been changed. It states the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith, the core beliefs which United Brethren members have clung to since the denomination began.

The Triune God

In the name of God, we declare and confess before men that we believe in the only true God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; that these three are one--the Father in the Son, the Son in the Father, and the Holy Ghost equal in essence or being with both; that this triune God created the heavens and the earth and all that in them is, visible as well as invisible, and furthermore sustains, governs, protects, and supports the same.
