Covenant Family are small groupings of church members who meet in their various localities are led by trained and mature lay leaders in the church. Every member of the church is expected to belong to and attend the meetings of the family in his or her locality once a week. Fellowshipping with other Christians in a small group setting has been demonstrated to provide spiritual, emotional, and physical benefits to members.
Human beings were created by God for fellowship and this has brought about many social structures in society. God’s expectation is that through His church and the influence of Pastors, the spiritual, emotional, social and physical needs of His people would be met.
The meetings create informal settings where church members relate to one another on a more personal basis and also invite friends, believers and even the unsaved to enjoy fellowship and give some the opportunity to experience the saving knowledge of Christ in and atmosphere.
Families organise times of fun and fellowship and parties, where they “break bread” and share their testimonies of what God is doing in their lives. They also learn to pray for one another and in so doing deepen their personal love and case ministries.
To ICGC, this community group fellowship seeks to help achieve the following:
• Provides pastoral care, personal attention and sense of belonging.
