Disciples affirm God as the Creator and Sustainer of all things, revealed in Scripture and supremely in Jesus Christ. The denomination's worship is addressed to the Trinitarian God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — and ecumenical cooperation presupposes shared Trinitarian faith.

Disciples theology has increasingly emphasized God's love and justice as central divine attributes, shaping a strong social ethics orientation. Liberation theology and feminist theology have influenced segments of the denomination, offering diverse images of God while remaining within a broadly Christian theistic framework.
