Covenant Discipleship Groups

The purposes of Covenant Discipleship Groups (CDG) are to:

·         Provide an environment for spiritual transformation –relationship with God

·         Facilitate discipleship development

·         Practice inner and outer disciplines

·         Develop close relationships among group members

Each group consists of four to 10 members and is lead by a trained leader.  The CDG identifies a “covenant” (for example, be present at all meetings; respect each other; practice disciplines between meetings) and schedules six to eight sessions with meetings lasting approximately an hour and a half.  The group decides where and when meetings will occur.

Contact Dan Long (784-8800), David DeBarthe (784-6491), or Lorrie Long (442-5160) if you would like to participate in a Covenant Discipleship Group.
