Small Group Series on the Book of Acts
Interested in connecting with others, reading through the book of Acts in the Bible, and having engaging conversation? Sign up to join a small group for our upcoming 6-week small group series on the book of Acts ("Transformative Community"), based on the book Life Lessons from Acts by Max Lucado.
Acts comes after the gospels and it describes how, in a time of uncertainty, the disciples grew stronger in faith and began a community movement we call the church while sharing the good news of God’s love well beyond Jerusalem. Jesus promised that the Spirit would come to give the power to share God’s love with the world.
Small Groups at Covenant
Small groups are a vital part of our growth spiritually and they give the opportunity to dive deeper into this Covenant community. We have engaging series/topics throughout the year, such as our last series on money and the choices we make with it, so keep checking back here! There will be groups that meet in person and some that meet virtually.
If you have any questions about small groups at Covenant, please contact Pastor Jess Scholten.
