Communion

Why do we take communion?

At Pathfinder Church, we believe God gives us Holy Communion for the forgiveness of sins (Matthew 26:26-28) and the deepening of our relationship with Him and each other. All who share in our profession of the Christian faith are encouraged to partake in Holy Communion, provided they:

• Have received Christian Baptism (Acts 2:36-38),
• Recognize and confess their sinfulness (Proverbs 28:13; 1 John 1:8-9),
• Forgive others (Matthew 5:21-24; Matthew 6:12)
• Believe the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ are truly present, offered under forms of bread and wine (1 Corinthians 10:16; 1 Corinthians 11:27-29)

Have Questions?

For questions about Communion or for parents of children wishing to receive Holy Communion (who have not yet received the Lord’s Supper instruction), please speak with a pastor.

During the communion distribution, we invite you to continue to sing as you wait for a volunteer to dismiss you. Those bringing physical offerings may place them in an usher’s basket as they depart.

Note: Non-alcoholic wine is offered in the blue section of the communion trays and gluten-free wafers are also available at all communion stations for those with special needs.
