Common Questions
What should I wear?
Where do I park?
Is the building accessible?
What about my kids?
Can I take communion?
We believe that in the Lord's Supper, Jesus gives us his true body and blood, in, with, and under the bread and wine, for the forgiveness of sins. That's not a symbol or a metaphor to us. It's a gift, and it's at the very center of our life together.
Because Scripture also teaches that receiving this gift is a confession of shared faith, and that it should be received with understanding (1 Corinthians 11), we don't simply invite everyone forward automatically. Instead, we ask visitors to talk with our Pastor before communing. He's not there to quiz you or turn you away. He's there to care for you, and it's his responsibility and joy to walk through what this meal means before you receive it.
If you're not communing, you're still warmly invited to come forward for a blessing, or simply to remain seated. No one will think twice either way.
Will I be singled out as a visitor?
Do I have to give money?
