at PPC

 1. Starting Point

Starting Point is an introduction to Patterson Park Church. In this one session class you will learn more about what our church believes and how you can get involved.

Classes are held the first Sunday of March, June, September, and December at 10:30am in the Conference Room.

2. Membership

Interested in exploring membership at PPC? Our quarterly Membership Class is a great opportunity to learn more about the church, connect with others, and discover what membership means. The class consists of two sessions and is required for anyone interested in becoming a member. Following the class, participants will meet with an elder for a membership interview. Join us to learn more about PPC's history, beliefs, governance, and mission. Classes are held on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. in the Underground.

2027 Classes: January 3 & 10, April 4 & 11, July 11 & 18, and October 3 & 10

3. Baptism

Baptism is an ordinance of Jesus Christ that Christians should observe (Matt. 28:19). We believe that baptism by immersion (going under the water and coming up again)
is the best picture of our identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Believers who have placed their faith in Christ may be baptized.
Incoming members must be baptized.

Baptism classes for youth and adults are held the Sundays after the 2nd Membership class in January, April, July and October at 9am in the Conference Room.  
Ensure you have adequate time to provide your written testimony when registering for the class. 

 
Classes for children (5th grade and under) are held on the first and second Sundays of March and October at 9am in room 223.  
Pastor Boo will lead these classes then meet with the parents to determine if your child is ready to be baptized.

4. Family Gathering

Our Family Gathering is a time of fellowship over a meal to hear ministry reports and introduce our new members. During this time, you will formally join the church as a member.

Our Family Gatherings take place the first Sunday of February, May, August, and November.
