Yes — Eagle Creek Church takes communion together once a month, on the first weekend of the month, during regular services. It’s a believers’ communion: guests are welcome to participate if they’re followers of Jesus.
Communion (also called the Lord’s Supper) is a simple practice Jesus gave His followers at His last meal before the cross: eating a small piece of bread and drinking a small cup of juice to remember His body given and His blood shed for us. It’s not a snack and it’s not magic — it’s a memorial, a moment to pause, remember what Jesus did, and examine your own heart.
Communion at Eagle Creek is for people who have decided to follow Jesus — it’s a remembrance, so it means the most to those remembering. That includes guests: if you follow Jesus, you’re welcome at the table regardless of your church background. If you’re visiting and not sure where you stand with faith, it’s completely fine to let the elements pass by — no one is watching, and nothing is awkward about it.
On communion weekends, the elements (the bread and cup) are handed out at the back doors as you enter the auditorium — just take them to your seat. Forgot to grab them? No problem: an usher will gladly hand you some when it’s time.
Communion is taken together as a congregation — a special moment in the middle of the worship service when the whole church remembers Jesus at the same time. The pastor explains what’s happening as it happens — like everything at Eagle Creek, no prior church experience is assumed.
Because Jesus asked them to: “Do this in remembrance of me” (Luke 22:19). For two thousand years, believers have taken bread and cup together as a regular reset — remembering that the foundation of faith isn’t our performance but His sacrifice.
The heart is the same — remembering Jesus’ death and resurrection — though practices differ across traditions (some churches call it the Eucharist or the Lord’s Supper, some use wine, some have it weekly). At Eagle Creek, whatever tradition you come from, you’re welcome, and no one will ask you to renounce your background.
