The Bible teaches the communion, or Lord's Supper    (1 Corinthians 11:20), is the "joint participation" of Christians in the body and blood of our Savior Jesus Christ                     (1 Corinthians 10:16).  The early disciples continued steadfastly in the observance of the Lord's Supper (Acts 2:42).  The frequency with which they observed the Lord's Supper can be ascertained from (Acts 20:7), where the Bible informs us that the disciples came together upon the first day of the week to break bread (observe the Lord's Supper).  Thus, in accordance with this scriptural example, we believe we must come together every first day of the week to observe this solemn memorial.
    We believe, as the Scriptures record, that on the night of Christ's betrayal, He took a loaf of unleavened bread, blessed it, broke a piece off, and told His disciples, "Take, eat. This is my body which is broken for you."  Likewise, He took a cup containing the fruit of the vine, blessed it, took a drink, and told His disciples, "Drink ye all from it," and, "this cup is the New Testament in my blood" (
Matthew 26:26-28, Mark 14:22-24, Luke 22:17-20, 1 Corinthians 11:23-25).
    We believe we must observe the communion in the same manner as the Lord instituted it and observed it with His disciples.  We believe we must keep this divine pattern with all diligence, for the apostle Paul said in (
1 Corinthians 11:2), "Keep the ordinances as I delivered them to you."  He then went on to deliver unto them the proper way in which they were to observe the communion (1 Corinthians 11:23-25).  He received this pattern from the Lord, and it was the same pattern recorded by Matthew, Mark, and Luke.  We believe this divine ordinance must be kept as it was delivered still today.

    We earnestly contend for "the faith once delivered to the saints" (Jude 1:3), pleading for the restoration of New Testament Christianity, standing upon the firm foundation of the Holy Scriptures
