Communion Class

A Faith Step starting at grade 5
The Spring Session is

Sat Apr 18 - 9am-1pm class

Sun Apr 19 - First Communion

Before participating in communion at Christ Church, one of our Faith Steps is for 5th-8th grade students to complete a Communion Class. This one-day hands-on class helps students grow deeper in faith and understanding and teaches about the sacrament of communion at Christ Church. Students will personalize an etched communion glass and a banner for use during their 1st Communion.


Please register here by the Sunday before the session you'll attend. Opportunities are typically offered in October, January, and April each year.
