The Unitarian Universalist Community Church of Santa Monica

Covenant Groups/Small Group Ministry

• Do you want to grow together and develop personal relationships with other church members and friends?
  
• Are you interested in process as much as results, sharing feelings, engaged listening, personal interactions and honest communications?
  
• Do you want to experience the bonding that occurs from the definition, by a newly formed group, of a behavioral covenant that will guide the group's process?
  
• Do you want to establish jointly, with the consensus of the group, a spiritual theme and a church/community service project?
  
• And then explore that theme deeply with the group while working as a team to accomplish the service project?
  
• Do you want to develop and refine concepts of inclusivity, hospitality, and respect for the inherent worth and dignity of every person, and put those concepts into action in your everyday life?
  

Then become a member of a Covenant Group (a small group of up to ten people, formed by random selection for an agreed duration)!

Covenant Groups have become an important part of the life of the Unitarian Universalist religious community. Participants have established new and deeper connections with one another and found a place for religious exploration and spiritual growth. While members of Covenant Groups connect with one another and with the life of the whole congregation, they develop a larger vision of themselves as religious liberals and as Unitarian Universalists.
