In 6th grade, children are invited to become communing members of our church. This process involves a bi-weekly class to learn the precepts of the Christian faith; 6th graders spend time in fellowship, worshiping, and learning in class.

Ministry Details
In the spring, Communicants attend a special retreat and are asked to share their profession of faith in writing. Students are then received into communing membership during a late springtime worship service.
All 6th graders are welcome; children are encouraged to invite friends! While this is the first step in the membership process for your child, membership is not required.
Leaders
Men and women are needed to lead small groups at Communicants. Join our team and be a part of shaping kids’ understanding of gospel grace.
Email [email protected] for details.
Meal Prep
Communicants’ parents are encouraged to sign up at least once a semester to help with meal prep for our Sunday night discipleship communities. (The menu and ingredients are provided; you’ll enjoy getting to know other parents while prepping dinner for our pre-teens and teens.)
