This study explored the balancing of the preaching of the Word and the Sacrament of communion within Evangelical Presbyterian Churches. It asked if the historical/theological narrative mandated a balance, how is it reflected and whether the contemporary church seeks to implement such in its ongoing worship. A qualitative design, using semi-structured interviews with eight pastors and one worship director was implemented. The study concluded that the historical/theological narrative does encourage a Word and Communion balance but churches do not view this as mandated and are greatly affected by cultural obstacles and leadership preferences with regard to such implementation.
