The Lord's Supper

As a Lutheran church, we believe that the Lord's Supper is the Real Presence of Christ. His true body and blood are offered "in, with and under" the bread and wine. When these are received in faith we receive both the forgiveness of sins and the strengthening of our faith (1 Corinthians 11:10).

If this is your confession you are welcomed to receive communion. If not, please join us at the Lord's Table with crossed arms and receive a blessing as part of the body of believers and our unity in Christ.

For those desiring non-alcoholic wine, a white wine is located in the center of the tray.
