An important part of corporate worship at Decatur Presbyterian church is weekly communion.

We hold to the traditional Reformed or (Calvinistic) view that while Christ is not physically present in the Lord’s Supper, He is present with us spiritually.

Communion is more that a memorial of Christ’s death. We meet with Him, fellowship with Him, and feed on Him spiritually during communion. When we commune with Christ’s divine nature at the table, and because Christ’s divine nature is perfectly united with His human nature in heaven, we are raised to Christ’s presence and strengthened in our walk with Him.

Communion is a place for believers to get special attention: grace, comfort, forgiveness, strength and assurance of Christ’s love for us.

Communion is open to all who trust Christ for salvation as evidenced by repentance from sin and membership in good standing in any evangelical Christian church.
