What is Communion?
East White Oak Bible Church believes The Lord’s Supper (Communion) to be an ordinance prescribed by Christ to be observed by the Church (Matthew 26:26-30). Participation is reserved for those who profess faith in Christ Jesus alone as their hope of forgiveness and salvation (Romans 3:23-24, 6:23) and is not a means of salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9). Participation in communion is intended to be a memorial, observed in order to remember the great sacrifice that was made on the believer’s behalf by Christ on the cross (1Corinthians 11:23-26). The “bread” represents Christ’s body and the “cup” represents Christ’s blood (1 Corinthians 11:23-26).
Observances are scheduled for the first Sunday of the month and Good Friday. We request that participants partake of the elements together as directed by the pastor.
