One of the greatest privileges and highest callings of a parent is to raise their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. It would be difficult to overestimate the joy of the Christian parent who hears his/her child say: "God loves me as his child, and I love Jesus because he took the wrath of God that I deserve." 

Knowing that children ultimately must accept the realities of God’s promises of salvation for themselves, what does it look like, in Christ, for parents and the church to move forward in God’s process of making disciples of covenant children? 

Our Communicants’ Class is designed to help. 

Prior to the class, we ask that parents go through this form for each of their children considering taking the class. 

What if I still have questions? Whatever your situation, please know that children and parents are welcome to use the classes themselves to clarify what God is doing in the life of the children. Let us pray that our Lord Jesus will use this class to glorify Himself in the eternal well-being of our young ones. Of course, parents and children are always welcome at any time to visit with Adam or any of our staff or elders to discuss any questions or concerns about the class or process for children joining the church.
