Being God's Faithful Community: A Covenant of Spiritual Practices for Central Plains

Picture
This Covenant of Spiritual Practices was adopted by the delegates in June 2016.

By covenanting together to six specific Christian practices 
and to a process of discernment around disagreements, we hope to invigorate our discipleship, fellowship and witness as a conference. 


1. Worship
2. Prayer, fasting and generous giving 
3. Bible study in congregations and conference gatherings
4. Accept and offer hospitality
5. Bible study with neighbors and strangers
6. Peacemaking, loving-kindness and forgiveness
Tim Detweiler has written a four-session study guide (at left) which you can order from Amazon.com; the cost is just $3.59 per booklet. Here it is in PDF form.
See the pages at AnabaptistFaithFormation.org under 'Christian Practices' for many how-to resources on the covenant practices.
