Small-group covenants are an important part of community ministry. They help group members understand exactly what will happen in the life of a group, and they provide a tangible symbol of commitment to the group's core values and standards of behavior.
But they can be annoying to write up. That's why we've assembled eight different sample covenants in this Best Church Practices resource. As a group leader, you can choose the one that best fits your group and adapt it to your specific needs. And if you're a pastor or small-groups ministry director, you can give that opportunity to every group leader in your church.
