Frequently Asked Questions

How often do you celebrate the Lord's Supper?

We celebrate the Lord's Supper or communion every Sunday simply because the New Testament invites us to do so. Paul reminded us of Jesus' words in I Corinthians 11:25 that "whenever" we celebrate this memorial we are to do so in a worthy manner. This does not prescribe a specific time, but grants the church freedom to follow their hearts. We also see in Acts 20:7 the church came together on the first day of the week (Sunday) to break bread. This apparently was their custom in which they shared the emblems of our New Covenant together at that time. In Acts 2:42 we see that the early church "devoted" themselves to the Apostles teaching (study of God's Word) fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer."

To devote implies a high priority. We dare not suggest that those who participate in this celebration in less that a weekly observance are wrong for doing so- we do suggest that all believers have the freedom to celebrate as they see appropriate. The Christian Church chooses to celebrate weekly because the sacrifice of Jesus Christ is a beautiful thing. We desire to worship Jesus with a regular observance of the symbols of our covenant with Him that brings eternal life purchased by His blood (John 17:3).
