Covenant Discipleship is an alternative to the traditional age-based Communicant's Class, offering Reformed and Presbyterian churches of any size a way to bring students into the church as communing members when the students are ready. Covenant Discipleship gives the oversight of teaching the essence of church membership back to parents, providing them with the tools and resources to guide their students through the process of learning about the essentials of the faith, the importance of church membership, and the core values and theology of a Reformed and Presbyterian church. The Covenant Discipleship Student's Workbook is the student half of the material; churches will want to provide a copy of the Covenant Discipleship Parents' Handbook to each participating family as well.
