Find Your Place

Find Your Place
As humans, we are all spiritual beings. It is part of the way we are created by God. Here at Covenant, we have a deep desire to be the spiritual center for our community. We believe that everyone can find a place to grow spiritually, and the journey can look different for everyone. In order to connect people together, and with the Divine, we have certain tools that (we pray) God will use to deepen our faith walk and equip us to serve God and others in the world.

Choose for yourself when and how to participate.  There is always an invitation, never an invasion; always opportunity, never demand.

Compass Class
Get your bearings… Just as a compass helps us to get our bearings when we aren’t sure which direction to travel, this four-session class meets weekly to help us learn more about being a follower of Christ, more about the United Methodist Church as a whole, and our distinctive role in North Spokane at Covenant United Methodist Church. This class helps us to get our bearings, and see what our next faithful step might be. These classes happen as needed once or twice yearly. Contact the church office here if you need more information.

“Releasing Our Gifts” Workshop
Discover, or rediscover, your distinctive gifts… This is a new offering here! It is based on the book, “Equipped For Every Good Work” by Dan Dick, and it helps us to discover our spiritual gifts, our way of participating in groups, and our spirituality preference, and then to discern how we might use the ways we are created for the glory of God. This workshop is tentatively scheduled for each March, and will be an annual offering. Contact the church office here if you would like more information.  This year we will be having the workshop on March 7 and 14, 2010 from 12-4 p.m. after worship.  Childcare and meals are provided!

Small Groups / House Churches / Neighborhood Groups
Find a place to belong… We all need a place to belong–a place that we can share what is going on in our lives and we are missed when we are not there. For some, worship on Sunday morning can fulfill that need. For many others, we need a smaller group of companions to walk with us on the journey. To connect with a small group, please contact Sue Shaw at sswinshaw@msn.com

Church Membership
Make a deeper commitment… We don’t emphasize church membership as a mandatory step in anyone’s journey, but for some of us it is a helpful step to increase our commitment to this particular community of faith. If you are interested in church membership, we would invite you to explore the above steps as a way of becoming incorporated into the community of faith here, and follow that up with a conversation with our pastor. If you have any specific questions please contact Pastor Gregg at pastor@covenantmethodist.org.
