In 2012, the Elders of the church began to re-examine their “inherited practice” of administering the Lord’s Supper on a monthly basis.
They studied the scriptural, theological, historical, and practical considerations pertaining to the frequency of communion, conducted a poll of the churches within our presbytery, and spent much time in prayer, discussion, and debate.
In 2017, they came to this conclusion: The Lord’s Supper, having been instituted by the Lord Jesus Christ as an ordinary means of grace, ought to be administered in his church on at least a weekly basis.
