Essentials is an ongoing Sunday school class taught by our pastoral staff in the Sanctuary.

• Some will attend because they are considering church membership, even if they've been attending for months (or years). This class is not a requirement for church membership; you may request a membership interview at any time -
• Some will attend to learn about and critique the Reformed (that is, Calvinistic) theology of our church.
• Some will attend to get a feel for Sunday school before they select their long-term class.

Essentials follows our regular Sunday school schedule. Lessons rotate in four core categories: Bible knowledge, Christian doctrine, history of Christianity, and the vision of Covenant Presbyterian. Each morning we begin a new lesson, so you can come and go as you please. Topics are posted below.

Essentials is a point-of-entry for the Sunday school ministry of CPC. Ultimately, one of the other Sunday school classes will be a better place for long-term care and friendship-making.

Sometimes sermon discussion is a part of an Essentials class. Sometimes a member of the staff or an elder or deacon will introduce themselves and a ministry to the Essentials class.
