Growing Everyday Disciples: Covenant Discipleship With Children

Covenant Discipleship with Children is a ministry designed for older-elementary-age children (third through sixth grade) who desire to grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus Christ and with others. Based on John Wesley's class meetings, Covenant Discipleship challenges children and adult guides to practice their faith each week through holy living, leading a life of intentional relationship with God while modeling Jesus' life by caring for and serving others. This disciple-shaping process offers children the opportunity to use their experiences in school, in church, at home, and in the community as they discover ways to "love God and neighbor" through specific acts of compassion, justice, worship, and devotion. This book contains an outline for setting up a Covenant Discipleship with Children group; information to share with parents, guardians, and the congregation; training models for adult guides; an outline for the group's gathering time; weekly schedules; sample covenants; sample registration and evaluation forms; and much more.
