Covenant Groups
When someone deeply listens to you, it is like holding out a dented cup you have had since childhood and watching it fill up with cold fresh water. –John Fox
Covenant groups, comprising six to twelve participants who meet on a regular schedule, are safe spaces where everyone is heard and confidentiality is honored. Through simple practices of listening and speaking from the heart, participants share experiences and beliefs while fostering caring, friendship, spiritual growth, insight, and enjoyment. They deepen faith and help build beloved community.
Covenant groups often discuss the monthly worship theme. You can find worship theme guides below.
