🍞 Holy Communion

We celebrate Holy Communion once a month, in addition to special services such as Easter and Christmas.

All are welcome to join us for Sunday worship. Our service follows the traditional HKBP liturgical order — a structured, Christ-centered service rooted in the Lutheran Protestant tradition. Services are conducted primarily in Bahasa Indonesia with Batak elements.
