"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..." — 1 Corinthians 11:23
Sacraments are holy signs and seals of God’s covenant of grace, instituted by Christ Himself. In the Reformed tradition we observe two sacraments: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
Holy Baptism
Baptism is the sign of entry into the covenant community — administered in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In the Presbyterian tradition we baptise not only professing believers but also the children of believing parents, for the promise is to us and to our children (Acts 2:39; Genesis 17:7; 1 Corinthians 7:14). Baptised children are later nurtured through Church School and catechism toward confirmation and communicant membership.
The Lord’s Supper
In Holy Communion we remember Christ’s broken body and shed blood, feed on Him by faith, and renew our covenant together as one body. PCEA observes the Lord’s Supper regularly — on Communion Sundays announced by the Session — and the table is open to all baptised believers who love the Lord, including visitors from sister churches.
