Holy Communion in the Methodist Church is open to anyone who professes a Christian faith. The laymembers go up to the altar and receive the bread from the clergy and the dip it in the cup. They can take Communion standing, sitting, or kneeling.

Frequency of communion service in the Methodist?

The United Methodist Church recommends Communion be served frequently. A recent resolution recommends weekly celebration of Communion. In practice, while more churches are moving to weekly communion, most churches celebrate Communion once a month.John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, recommended receiving The Lord's Supper as often as one could. Another answer It depends on the Methodist Church and the member. Some churches still have communion infrequently (monthly or less) and some members still only receive communion on special occasions (such as Christmas, Easter, Pentecost and so on). However, as stated above, many Methodist Churches are increasing the frequency of receiving communion, or 'The Lord's Supper'. This will bring them more into line with the Anglican Church (where communion is usually weekly) as a result of the Anglican/Methodist Covenant that makes the promise that the two denominations should work more closely together in the future, possibly resulting, one day, in a united Church.

Do Methodist and pentecostal have the same beliefs on communion?

Methodist and Pentecostal beliefs on communion differ significantly. Methodists view communion as a sacrament, emphasizing its role in grace and the presence of Christ, and typically practice it regularly as part of their worship. In contrast, many Pentecostals see communion more as a symbolic act, focusing on personal faith and the remembrance of Christ's sacrifice rather than a means of grace. Consequently, the understanding and significance of communion can vary widely between the two traditions.
