Title
Marion Christian Church, Diciples of Christ
Description
. Seeking to move beyond denominational disagreements, the founders envisioned only one Christian Church, modeled on the New Testament. The church grew rapidly across the American frontier, in part because it shared many values of the early settlers, and today nearly 4,000 congregations exist.
The chalice symbolizes the central place of communion in worship for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The X-shaped cross of the disciple Andrew is a reminder of the ministry of each person and the importance of evangelism.
Pastor Bob Kunz was ordained into the ministry in May of 1971, having received a BA from Kansas State University and his Doctorate from Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He served as Staff Chaplain at Iowa Methodist Medical Center from 1975 to 1979, and then as Director of Ireneaus Alcohol Treatment Center (Holy Family Hospital) in Estherville, Iowa from 1979 to 1981. Bob has served as pastor of Disciples of Christ churches in Estherville, Iowa and Lincoln, Nebraska prior to coming to Marion Christian Church in 1999. Bob is married to Eileen and they have one daughter and twin grandsons.
