Simply put, a covenant group is a relationally-based, same-gender small group that meets once a week for about an hour. It will be led by an adult or student leader, whom has felt God's call in their lives to invest in students. There are several components of a covenant group:
- Fellowship: students are able to come together on a regular basis in order to experience authentic community.
- Accountability: by sharing struggles, students are able to help one another to stay on the right path.
- Prayer: the group prays for one another and the concerns each one brings to the table.
- Vulnerability: students are able to be completely honest and open, knowing that it is a safe, confidential place for them to share their lives and hearts.
- Bible: students study the Bible and learn how to apply it to their daily lives.
Covenant groups are a foundational part of our student ministry here at St. Andrew. Currently we have about 25 covenant groups meeting weekly. These groups are a powerful way God can move in your student's life. If you'd like to be a part of this ministry, please contact Michelle McClure at mmcclure@standrewumc.org or 214-291-8047.
