Covenant Community Handbook

A home group can be the healthiest place in the Kingdom or the most fragile. With no denomination behind it and no building around it, it stands or falls on what it holds to, how it gathers, and how it handles trouble when trouble comes.

The Covenant Community Handbook gives home groups all three, organized into Foundation, Practice, and Discipline.

Foundation sets the ground under the group. It begins with the Ten Words as covenant vows, not abstract moral principles, and the first test of any teacher. It lays out the covenant hierarchy that settles conflicts, the Bride as one people drawn from Judah, the scattered house of Israel, and the sojourner from the nations, the Royal Covenant and the difference between the Book of the Covenant and the Book of the Law, Messiah's ministry, the Already and Not Yet, and the work of the Holy Spirit in the assembly.

Practice shapes the life of the group: the weekly gathering, the covenant meal, the Sabbath, the appointed feasts, prayer, hospitality, and mutual care.

Discipline equips the group to stay faithful over time. It covers doctrinal guardrails, covenant correction done with grace, how to weigh prophetic claims, the errors most likely to creep in, and how to restore those who wander and return.

Appendices give leaders ready tools: a summary confession, the Ten Words, a covenant meal liturgy, a Sabbath household pattern, a one-year reading plan, a quick reference to the feasts, and a resource and subject index.

Written for leaders, hosts, and every member at the table, this handbook helps a small gathering become a covenant community built to last.
