Sample Covenant Groups
What
if you could get to know a small group of people in the church and get to know
them more deeply? Covenant groups are designed to allow such opportunities. A
full covenant group program is in development to begin in Fall 2012, and we are
offering sample, drop-in groups throughout the spring. Each month will have a
different topic for sharing and growth. Led by Jessica Gray.

more engaged in the church as well as those already in leadership positions.
