A Covenant Discipleship group is 5-7 persons who meet together for one hour on a regular basis to hold one another mutually accountable for their discipleship.
Groups tend to form based on the day and time people are available for regular meetings.
There are no rules about the composition of the groups. The group is guided by a covenant they write, shaped by the General Rule of Discipleship:
To witness to Jesus Christ in the world
and to follow his teachings
through acts of compassion, justice, worship and devotion
under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
The covenant serves as the agenda for the weekly meeting. It keeps the focus of conversation on discipleship; what each member of the group has done or not done, during the past week to follow the teachings of Jesus in their daily lives.
The Sunday Night Discipleship Group, which was formed in 2020, meets on ZOOM from 7:30-8:30pm.
