FAQs

  • The cost of the Senior Banquet is $15 per person.

    This covers the catered meal and the full evening celebration.

    We’re excited to provide a special, high-quality dinner as we honor our seniors and celebrate what God has done in their lives.

  • Yes, but please include them in your RSVP count.

  • The Robing Ceremony is a special moment where each senior chooses one person who has spiritually impacted their life to place a robe on them.

    The tradition comes from historic graduation ceremonies where a mentor would “hood” a graduate. We’ve adapted it to reflect something deeper—spiritual formation and discipleship.

    The robe represents:

    • Gratitude for someone who invested in your student

    • The spiritual guidance and support they’ve received

    • A transition into the next season of life

    This is not just about finishing school.

    It’s about celebrating the people who helped shape their faith.

    Each senior selects one parent, mentor, life group leader, coach, or close family member who played a meaningful role in their spiritual journey.

    It’s simple. It’s personal. It’s a beautiful moment of honor and gratitude.

  • Email cstone@churchonmain.net & ekozma@churchonmain.net for any questions.
