  • Groups

  • Discipleship Cohorts

 Membership

Belong to a local church

Does it really matter if I’m a member or not? Why do I have to go to take a class to even become a member? Why do I have to sign anything? People often ask these questions about our membership process, skeptical as to why there seem to be so many “hoops” to jump through.

It’s true. We take membership seriously and with a lot of gravity. Committing yourself to a body of believers is weighty. But it’s also wonderful. When Covenant Members join, they commit to a spiritual family that provides encouragement and support. They are called to a biblical degree of responsibility, service and sacrifice to their brothers and sisters. Our elders and leaders also pledge to assist our Covenant Members with care, counsel, prayer and teaching.

Steps

  1. First Sunday – Learn about our vision, heart and values and have dinner with a member

  2. Orientation – Get connected and integrated into the life of the church

  3. Members Meeting – At the next Members Meeting, we will publicly affirm the covenant and welcome you into membership

Sign Up for First Sunday

Member Care

Our Care Team is here for you! Members are welcome to reach out anytime at care@christcovenant.com with prayer requests, practical needs, or support during a loss.

Groups

Be known in community

We hope to see all Christ Covenant members grow in personal purity and holiness, learn to live by the Spirit, increase in knowledge of God’s Word and in prayer, carry out the one another commands in Scripture, and grow as gospel witnesses in evangelism. In a word, we hope to “present everyone mature in Christ.” This kind of maturity in Christlikeness happens when we are involved in relational discipleship with others who encourage, challenge, and exhort us.

When thinking about visiting or joining a group, we typically say, “Proximity is priority.” We have groups all over Atlanta that meet on different days and at different times.

Groups are the primary context where relational discipleship takes place at Christ Covenant, but they are not the only place where this sort of discipleship occurs.

We are regularly hosting various events for our church that are open to anyone. Visit our Events page to register for events.

Biblical Counseling

We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are sufficient to help address life’s problems. The Biblical Counseling Center offers individual and couples counseling for the members of Christ Covenant.

Be Counseled.

To request counseling, email counseling@christcovenant.com. For more information about receiving biblical counseling, read “Biblical Counseling: What to Expect".”
