SH Discipleship Groups Covenant
Please have student and both parents/guardians sign off on each Covenant section. It might be easiest to all sit down together to read and sign. Thank you! (If you only have one parent/guardian, then have them sign twice)

If you have any questions at all please let Jordan know.  
Although we are setting a high standard for D-Groups, know you can approach me to talk about any issues, with any questions or hang-ups.

We don't want to discourage from students signing up, but we also want to put a hedge around D-Groups and make it as worthwhile as possible to maximize its effectiveness for all involved.

Commitment to Regular Attendance
Commitment to regular Attendance as well as show up on time.
Show up on time at 3:00 pm or your groups set meeting time.  I will notify my leaders when I am unable to attend OR will be late. Please don't notify leaders last minute you will miss, this disrespects their time. If you know you aren't available, please let leader know a day ahead.

Students are also  prioritizing other obligations appropriately so they can attend.  Examples)  Homework, sports, work, being grounded, even family time, etc. Why?

a. We believe there is nothing more important in life than the Gospel and growing to be more like Jesus and glorifying Him.D-Groups is a sacred time to grow as a disciple and we want to protect that time and encourage students to attend.  We understand D-Groups are not perfect BUT the very purpose of D-Groups is to be a catalyst for faith growth and there is an appropriate weight given to this endeavor shown through consistent attendance.

b. A lack of consistency limits the ability for faith growth, disrupts the rhythm, bonding and flow for the participant and others in the group. It can also be disheartening to leaders if D-Groups are not taken seriously by lack of consistency.

c. All this being said, we understand unavoidable conflicts - just let your leader know ahead of time, preferably before the day of.

d. We are hoping parents will also help students prioritize D-Group attendance and view it as a priority.

Commitment to Participate by doing the work required & to engage appropriately during D-Group
Any of the following may be a part of D-Group: reading, study, answer questions, devotionals and memorize assigned Scripture. This also means participating meaningfully during D-Group.
We anticipate there being a fun fellowship element throughout your time in D-Group, but participants are also expected to add serious conversation, questions and feedback pertinent to the material and purposes of faith conversations.

Commitment to Respect others
Respect occurs by listening and not interrupting when others are speaking, not speaking disrespectfully to or about others, and not gossiping outside of the group about others. (Others meaning those in your group, your leaders, and others in the youth ministry, church, family or your everyday life)

Confidentiality Exceptions
I understand that confidentiality is at the discretion of the Leader(s) of the group when something shared poses a risk of harm to me or others, and will be shared with the Student Director to get the necessary help needed.
