Elementary & Middle School Communicants Class
A 6-week class for children (2nd-8th grade in the spring) who are interested in full communing membership at PCPC and ready to be admitted to the Lord’s Table.
Many of our children are covenant children and have already been baptized into God’s family, the Church, as infants or young children. At their baptism, parents make vows on behalf of their child, and we pray for the Lord’s faithfulness over time to bring about saving faith in the child’s heart. The Communicants Class is a time to celebrate God’s faithfulness in doing just that – to bring our children to a place of professing their own faith and trust in Jesus to wash them from their sin and remake them in His image, for His glory. PCPC’s Family Ministries desires to come alongside parents as you shepherd your child through this wonderful time when your child explores making their own profession of faith. In that light, this year there will be a Required Parent Intro Class that one parent must attend before a child may participate in the Communicants Class. This Intro class will help you, the parent, assess your child’s readiness for the Table and encourage you to be fully engaged during this important time in your child’s spiritual life. See below for more details regarding Communicants this year!
