What Full Communion Means

Full communion is more than a friendly relationship. According to the ELCA, it means two churches recognize each other as genuine expressions of the one church of Jesus Christ. Members of full communion churches are welcome at the Lord’s table at Triumphant Cross, and vice versa. It is a visible sign of the unity Christ prayed for in John 17:21.

One Table, Many Traditions

Full communion does not erase our differences — Lutherans, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and Methodists each bring distinct gifts to the body of Christ. What it does say is that those differences are not church-dividing. We share one Lord, one faith, one baptism (Ephesians 4:5).

If you are new to Dothan or searching for a church home, any of these congregations would be a worthy place to begin. And if you would like to visit us, we would love to welcome you at Triumphant Cross.
