A Note About Communion…This Sunday we will take communion together, our first time as church. So here's the short on our view of communion.
We believe that one of the most precious things followers of Christ can do together is to take of communion. New City Church practices “open communion.” “Open communion” means that we invite not only members of NCCd, but all believers to receive communion (also called the Eucharist or Lord’s Supper). We believe that the Gospel unites all believers in Jesus Christ and communion can be shared by all true believers in Him. NCCd further believes that the elements of the Lord's Supper are not to be viewed as means by which God communicates grace to the faithful, but as signs by which the faithful recall the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and declare that they have received grace and belong to the body of the faithful. Communion is essentially a community profession of faith, a celebrative thanksgiving in which the church declares its gratitude and faithfulness to God for all He has done for us in Christ.
