At-Home Communion Ministry Summary
-
Deacons maintain a list of current at-home Communion recipients
-
Two people form an At-Home Communion Team (“Team”)
-
Session annually approves the list of Communion servers and substitutes (which can include anyone from the church – not limited to Elders, Deacons, or Pastors)
-
Everyone who will be part of a regular Team or substitute should be trained in-person or online prior to serving
-
-
Teams drive to about 2 homes on the first Sunday of the month to offer relationship, prayer, and Communion
-
In general, you should have the same homes each month so your Team can develop a relationship with the recipient
-
If you are unable to serve Communion a particular month, follow the process to find a substitute
