A journey through interactive conversation towards faithfully living into covenant as the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Five guided sessions will take participants into a deeper reflection of what it truly means to live in covenantal relationship with each other, with the church, and with God. We will meet on the first and third Wednesdays of each month (October 6 & 20, November 3 & 17, and December 1) at 7:00 PM.

This curriculum contains five sessions, each with carefully articulated learning goals. Each session starts out with a short video, followed by questions for consideration and conversation. Participants are invited to have a Bible handy. You will want to be familiar with the language the Preamble to the Design, which you can find in multiple languages. It is also included in the Chalice Hymnal as #355.

The free interactive curriculum includes the video sessions, links to transcripts in Spanish and English, discussion questions for each session, and a full bibliography. If you would prefer a printed format, you can download and print this PDF, and access the videos separately here.

How this curriculum came to be
The Governance Committee of the General Board, a group tasked with making recommendations for changes to the Design when needed, has spent the past two years considering what revisions to the Design might help the church better live out our calling. As part of that work, it became clear that what was needed was not only a review of the specifics of the design, but an exploration of our theological foundations. The concept of covenant kept resurfacing as the foundational premise of our life together. This resource is an invitation to the church to join conversation.

If you are interested in being a part of this small group, please let Pastor Leslie know.
