A Holy and Divine Tradition
First Communion is an important milestone in the life of a believer. It signifies an individual's readiness to partake in the body and blood of Christ, symbolized through the sharing of bread and wine. Our church holds this sacrament in high regard, acknowledging its significance as a means of growing in faith and deepening one's relationship with God.
Preparing for First Communion
We believe in thorough preparation for First Communion, ensuring that participants understand the meaning, traditions, and rituals associated with this sacred act. Our dedicated team of clergy and volunteers works diligently to provide comprehensive teachings, classes, and resources for both children and adults.
Classes and Instruction
Our First Communion classes are designed to educate and enrich the faith journey of individuals preparing to receive this sacrament. Led by experienced instructors, these classes cover various topics, including the history of communion, its symbolism, the Last Supper, and the importance of prayer and reflection during the communion service.
Through engaging discussions, hands-on activities, and interactive learning, participants gain a deeper understanding of the spiritual significance behind First Communion. We encourage questions, curiosity, and an open dialogue to foster a supportive and inclusive environment for all.

Celebrating First Communion
At First Baptist Church of Strongsville Garbc, we celebrate First Communion as a community, embracing the joy and grace it brings. Our meaningful services create a reverent atmosphere where individuals can connect with God and experience the unity of faith.
Community Gatherings
Prior to receiving First Communion, participants have the opportunity to attend community gatherings where they can interact with fellow believers, share their own insights, and learn from each other. These gatherings promote a sense of belonging and camaraderie, emphasizing the importance of community throughout one's faith journey.
Together, we rejoice in the knowledge that we are all part of the body of Christ.
The First Communion Service
The First Communion service is a time of reverence, reflection, and gratitude. As partakers in the body and blood of Christ, we come together as one unified congregation, sharing in the love and sacrifice of Jesus.
During the service, participants are invited to approach the communion table, where they receive a small piece of bread and a sip of wine (or grape juice) representing the body and blood of Christ. Through this act, we acknowledge our faith, remember Jesus' sacrifice, and renew our commitment to walk in His footsteps.

First Communion is not an endpoint but a beginning—a stepping stone in one's faith journey. At First Baptist Church of Strongsville Garbc, we continue to support and nurture individuals beyond their first encounter with communion.
