A Faith Step starting at grade 5

TBD in the fall

9am - 1pm in the CC Youth Room

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 experience is a hands-on opportunity to grow deeper in faith and understanding and teaches about the sacrament of communion at Christ Church. Students will also personalize an etched communion glass and a banner for use during their First Communion.


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

First Communion

First Communion is celebrated on the Sunday immediately following each Communion Class session at the worship hour of your choice. Friends and family are welcome to attend, onsite or online.

What to Expect

A letter containing class details will be emailed to registered participants the week before the class begins. Please direct earlier questions to elementary@christchurchmequon.org. Parents are asked to attend towards the end of the class for a special presentation time.
