Welcome to
TRINITY
ASSOCIATE REFORMED PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH
“May I Come to the Lord’s Table?”
Each Lord’s Day, the Lord’s Supper is observed here at Trinity Presbyterian
Church (ARP). If you are a visitor, please consider the following questions:
1. Have you been baptized and professed your Christian faith in a Protestant
church, and are thereby a communicant member of such a church? Are you
in good standing with your church?
2. Do you continue to place your faith in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of
your sins as your single hope for eternal life?
3. Do you, in gratitude for your salvation and with the help of the Holy Spirit,
rededicate yourself to God in a life of service in obedience to his Word?
The Bible calls all obedient servants of His to join with Him at this Supper in
a spirit of joy and gratefulness. If you answered the above questions
affirmatively, we welcome you to the Lord’s Table. The Bible also issues a
solemn warning to the unrepentant and disobedient that, lest they incur
further judgment upon themselves, they should refrain from participating.
If you have any questions about your participation here, or about any other
spiritual matter, please speak to one of the elders or to the pastor.
