What is a covenant community?

A covenant community is a group of individuals who are bound together by a common set of beliefs, values, or goals. These communities often have a strong sense of mutual responsibility and commitment to each other.

Covenant communities can vary in size and structure, ranging from small intentional living groups to larger religious or spiritual organizations. Some examples of covenant communities include intentional communities, religious orders, and cooperatives.

Members of covenant communities typically agree to abide by certain rules or guidelines that govern their behavior and interactions with each other. This can include principles of non-violence, equality, sustainability, and shared resources.

Covenant communities often prioritize communal living and decision-making processes, with a focus on building strong relationships and a sense of belonging within the group. These communities can provide a sense of support, belonging, and purpose for their members.
