The Importance of Communion and Baptism At FBC

FBC celebrates The Lord’s Supper, or  Communion on the first Sunday morning of each month.

For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:  (24) And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.  (25) After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.  (26)For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.  I Corinthians 11:23-26

The Lord’s Supper is open to all who are followers of Jesus Christ. The practice of Holy Communion is a central element of worship at FBC.  Observance of the Lord’s Supper echoes the Passover feast, when Jesus shared bread and wine with his disciples on the eve of His crucifixion. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, the living Christ is met and received in the sharing of the bread and the cup, representative of the body and blood of Jesus.

Peter said to them,” … Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”  Acts 2:38

Just as the baptism represents the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, it symbolizes the death and burial of the old self of the repentant believer, and the joyous birth of a brand new being in Christ. 

Baptism is a public act by which the church proclaims God’s grace, as revealed in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, through the use of a visible sign of God’s gracious initiative and the human individual’s response in faith.
