COMMUNION

Remember Jesus. Reflect on His sacrifice. Give thanks for His love.

Take Communion With Us

A Guided Communion Experience

Set aside a few quiet minutes, remove distractions, and allow this to be a meaningful time with Jesus.If your Starter Kit included communion elements, grab them now. If you don't have packaged communion elements, you may use a small piece of bread or a cracker and a little juice as simple reminders of Jesus' body and blood.

Before you begin: Communion is intended for those who have chosen to follow Jesus. If you haven't made that decision, you're welcome to watch, reflect, and consider what Jesus' sacrifice means for you.
Why We Do This

What Is Communion?

On the night before Jesus went to the cross, He shared a meal with His disciples. During that meal, He took bread and a cup and gave them new meaning.

Communion is a simple way Jesus gave His followers to remember what He has done for us. It gives us a chance to slow down, examine our hearts, give thanks, and refocus our lives on Him.

It also reminds us that following Jesus is not something we do alone. Through Him, we belong to one family and one body.

The Bread

Reminds us of Jesus' body, given for us.

The Cup

Reminds us of Jesus' blood poured out for us—the price of forgiveness and the beginning of new life.

The Cross

Reminds us of Jesus' sacrifice, His victory over sin and death, and the hope we have because He is alive.

Before You Take Communion

Prepare Your Heart

The Bible encourages us to approach communion thoughtfully—not fearfully. Take a few quiet moments with God and allow Him to search your heart.

Is there anything I need to confess?
Is there something I need to surrender?
Is there someone I need to forgive or make things right with?
What am I thankful to Jesus for today?
Is God asking me to stop doing something?
Is God asking me to take a new step of obedience?
A simple prayer:
“Jesus, thank You for what You have done for me. Search my heart. Forgive me, change me, and help me follow You.”

Keep Moving Forward

What Did God Show You?

If God brought something to your mind during communion—peace, assurance, conviction, hope, something to stop doing, or something to begin—take a moment to respond.

Write It Down

Capture what God brought to your mind so you can remember it and continue praying about it.

Share It

Tell someone you trust and invite them to encourage you and help hold you accountable.

Take Your Next Step

Keep talking with God about what He showed you. Ask someone you trust to pray with you as you continue following Jesus.
