Communion (The Lord's Supper)

Communion is a sacred act of remembrance and proclamation. In sharing the Lord’s Supper, we proclaim the lordship of Christ, celebrate our union with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and express our spiritual fellowship with one another as people of faith. Communion is an outward sign of our shared union with God through faith in Jesus Christ and His finished sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins.

Our communion table is open to all who know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. This reflects the current West Church communion page.

At West, Communion is traditionally served on the first Sunday of each month, though this may occasionally change to fit the church calendar. The elements are gluten-free bread and grape juice, and they are typically served to the congregation while people remain seated. Communion may also be shared at other services, retreats, or leadership gatherings. We do not require that Communion be served by an ordained person. This also matches the current practice described on West’s site.
