Christ The King Lutheran Church MILiving by Example

Early Communion

We believe that the Sacrament of Holy Communion is Christ's gift to His Church intended for those who believe in His name as Savior. The age at which a person is prepared to begin receiving the Sacrament of Holy Communion is not set in the Scriptures, but is a decision God allows His congregations to make for themselves. At Christ the King Lutheran Church, we have made this decision based on what we believe is best for the young communicant relative to the Scriptural guidelines on receiving Holy Communion.

The Early Communion program of Christ the King is not the exclusive way for young people to prepare to receive the Sacrament. If these requirements prevent someone from receiving communion at the earlier age, we would hope that they would look forward to receiving the Sacrament upon completion of the 7th & 8th Grade Confirmation Program.

If you have any questions, please contact the Early Communion Coordinator, Lisa Demou, or the Early Communion teacher, Michael Harden.

We use the NEW "Luther's Small Catechism with Explanation".  The cost is $15.00 and can be paid in cash or by check made out to CTK and put Small Catechism in the memo area.  You may purchase this book either at the school office or on the first day of class (please bring correct change).  This book will also carry you through Confirmation.
