The Sacrament of Holy Communion

As we believe that Christ is truly present with His very body and blood in this Holy Supper, so we also believe that oneness in both faith and doctrine is biblically affirmed for those who receive Holy Communion together. Motivated by biblical principles and with pastoral concern, this congregation of Lutheran Christians practices "close communion" (see 1 Cor. 10:I6, 17-21 and 11:26-29).

We invite and welcome to the altar those who share our confession of faith as fellow members of a sister congregation of The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod and those who have been instructed in our congregation. Other worship guests are asked to respect this practice, speaking with the pastor before attending the Sacrament.
