Exploring Covenant Partnership at First Pres
Interested in making a commitment to follow Jesus in covenant with the First Pres family? Come explore First Pres in our new members class.
Steps to Covenant Partnership at First Pres
Join Us For Worship
Start by attending our Sunday services.
Attend A Covenant Partners/Exploring First Pres Class
The process of joining the church is an important way to make a commitment to follow Jesus with community. Membership involves being "in covenant" with the Church, to love it, to pray for it, to serve it, and to give to it. In this class, we will get to know one another, hear from the pastors and staff, and share our spiritual journeys.
Meet With The Session
After the covenant partner meetings, the Session will meet with those who would like to make a commitment to join First Pres and will receive them as covenant partners.
Become A Covenant Partner
New covenant partners will be welcomed at a church service after they meet with the Session. Covenant partnership will be by profession of faith and baptism for those who are professing their faith for the first time, or by reaffirmation of faith for those who have previously professed faith publicly and are already baptized.
