MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are we Christian?
...Yes.
Are we Catholic?
...Yes and no. We observe many catholic traditions but our doctrine is protestant. "Catholic" means "Universal".
We are catholic but not Roman Catholic.

...Yes. Part of our service is communion (Eucharist). We eat bread and drink wine (just a sip). For those who do not care for wine it is perfectly acceptable to receive the bread only.
Why do we pray for dead people?
...We don’t pray for their physical body. We begin another life after our body dies. We live, learn, grow, and experience
new things "on the other side." Wouldn’t you want someone to remember you and pray for your well being? I know I would.
