These promises or covenants end up being to themselves, to other group members and to God. After agreeing on the covenants, the group becomes responsible to one another. Members are there to support one another.
Leadership is shared by all members.
Each week, the leader role rotates to a different member. The leader affirms members as they discuss the covenants and checks on any member who was unable to attend. Grace has several covenant groups. Some have met at the church for a number of years. This is a once a week meeting that is limited to an hour.
