Covenant Groups are groups of 8-10 people who commit to meet together on a regular basis to share their life stories and strengthen ties to one another. The groups provide a place for members and visitors to speak and be heard on issues close to their hearts (not necessarily their”heads.”) They explore the connection between personal experience and spirituality—however each person defines that word.

But there’s more. Covenant Groups encourage deeper relationships among people—relationships that are not task-oriented but based on deep listening. Over time, members of the group begin to “minister” to each other, celebrating the joys of life and being present for the sorrows.

Joining a Group
You can join a Covenant Group at any time during the year by contacting the program leader. They can provide more information about the groups and help you decide which group is best for you. We also have a general congregational enrollment once each calendar year. Groups meet once or twice a month, for 90 minutes or 2 hours, and are facilitated by congregation members trained for the purpose. (click here for enrollment form)

Current Groups
There are currently a number of Covenant Groups to choose from, meeting at different times of the month based on the needs of the members. You can choose a group with an “open topic” or a group that is focused on a single topic or issue across all meetings. Your ideas for new group topics or your willingness to be a facilitator are always welcome!
