ARTICLE 12 THE LORD’S SUPPER

    We believe in observing the communion of the Lord’s Supper as an ordinance instituted by Jesus Christ to symbolize the New Covenant. We recognize the bread and the cup as symbols commemorating Christ’s broken body and shed blood, of our spiritual life in Him, and of the spiritual unity and fellowship of the body of Christ. Each believer shall examine himself so as not to partake of the sacred emblems carelessly or while living in sin. The church shall invite to the Lord’s Table only those who have peace with God and with their fellow men, and who share the faith of the church. The Lord’s Supper shall be observed faithfully until the Lord comes.
