Recognizing that our Lord gives His grace to His people in Word and Sacrament, we share with those who believe in Him the gifts that He gives us.

The proclamation of forgiveness in the preaching of His Word and the Holy Absolution is for all who come into His presence confessing their sins and looking to His Son, Jesus Christ for forgiveness.

The Lord's Supper is reserved for those who not only confess their sins and look to Christ for forgiveness, but who also are capable of examining themselves and who share the same beliefs in accord with God's Word with one another. This means that we practice Close or Closed Communion and do not partake of the Sacrament with those who hold beliefs which are not the same as those held by us and taught in God's Word. As a practical matter, we do not ordinarily commune with those who are not members of our congregation or of the Lutheran Church Missouri synod to whose statement of faith our congregation subscribes, the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. If you are a member of a congregation of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod who is confirmed and are capable of examining yourself, we welcome you to commune with us. If you are not, please speak with Pastor Morales prior to the service to discuss participation in Holy Communion at Faith.
