If your child is not yet a professing follower of Christ, they will be listed as “Child of Prince Partners” as a part of your family unit. You will be members of Prince (Prince Partners), but your children will not at this point. Children under the age of eighteen, who are baptized by immersion after a profession of faith are welcomed into a “Fellowship Membership” status with Prince Avenue Baptist Church. The “Fellowship Membership” assumes that a child with the help of his parents will seek a place to serve the church, continue to be discipled by his parents, and will faithfully participate in the ministries of the church. The “Fellowship Membership” does not allow a child to vote nor receive church discipline. Parents are encouraged to continue to exercise their God-given responsibilities by discipling their child.
Child and Covenant Membership: Following the eighteenth birthday of a child, he may request of the Pastors a membership interview to pursue Covenant Membership at Prince Avenue. Any child who does not begin the Covenant Membership process will be removed from Fellowship Membership status upon graduation from high school.
