Faith Lutheran Church

Sunday Worship:

• Early Service 8:30am
• Late Service 11:00am

The Lord’s Supper is celebrated at this congregation in the confession and glad confidence that the crucified and resurrected Jesus gives into our mouths his very body and blood for the forgiveness of sins and to strengthen our union with him and one another.

We believe that God gives specific directions about who should receive the sacrament. 

Our Lord Jesus invites to his table those who trust in his words (John 14:6), repent of all sin (1 Cor. 11:28, 1 John 1:9-10), and set aside any refusal to forgive and love as He forgives and loves us (Matt. 5:23-24, 6:14-15), that they may show forth his death until He comes (1 Cor. 11:26).  Because those who eat and drink our Lord’s body and blood unworthily do so to their great harm (1 Cor. 11:27-32) and because Holy Communion is a confession of the faith which is confessed at this altar (Acts 2:42, 1 Cor. 10:17-18), we ask before anyone communes with our community of Christians called Faith Lutheran Church of Highland, MI, to first study Scripture with us and to make a public profession of faith.

• If you are already a communicant member of one of our sister congregations in the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, or a congregation in altar and pulpit fellowship with the LCMS, please let an Elder or pastor know.
• If you hold to another confession as a member of a different church body, we respectfully ask you to receive the sacrament in your home congregation.
• If you have no home church, we invite you to study Scripture with us before communing at this table.

We do not want to put you in a position of stating your agreement with our teachings and confession without knowing what we teach and confess.
