A church membership covenant should be clear enough to use, honest enough to practice, and specific enough to guide ordinary congregational life. This workbook helps a small church move from abstract statements to a covenant the congregation can discuss, adapt, and review together.
Inside the workbook
- The purpose and limits of a church membership covenant
- Prompts for identifying your church’s shared commitments
- A concise covenant framework to adapt
- Conversation guidance for introducing the covenant
- A process for revisiting and improving it annually
- Practical writing and review worksheets
Designed for pastors, elders, membership teams, and small-church leaders. Adapt the material to your church’s doctrine, bylaws, governing documents, privacy practices, and safeguarding responsibilities.
Scope note: This educational resource is not legal, tax, employment, or safeguarding advice. Review the final covenant with the appropriate leaders and advisers for your context.
Format: Downloadable 10-page PDF workbook.
