Towards the end of Robert Little’s book on re-imagining preaching and leading worship in a Baptist church, (https://theendlessbookcase.com/books/re-imagining-preaching-and-leading-worship/), there’s a section that outlines key aspects of Baptist church life, focusing particularly on fellowship, worship and the centrality of the Lord’s Supper. It describes fellowship as a fundamental aspect of the gospel, emphasising the interconnectedness of individual Christians and local churches. The text explains that Baptist worship prioritises preaching but also incorporates hymns, songs, prayer (often in free forms) and congregational participation, while allowing for liturgical freedom. Finally, it details the Baptist understanding and practice of the Lord’s Supper as a memorial meal with spiritual significance, highlighting its role in expressing fellowship and offering an opportunity for rededication, while discussing various elements of a typical Communion service.
