"Building a covenant is not simply about getting everybody to agree about what the Household is going to study. At the heart of a covenant is the willingness to take the time to listen to each other, to hear what each person in the Household wants to get from the time together." The Household gathering time could be at any time during the day or evening and would be something that's decided by the people attending, Mr. Meacock says.
"This kind of model is so flexible that it includes all kinds of variations." For example, the teaching material and the time could vary according to the needs of the people. Households could include children or teenagers or there could be separate programs for them. The focus of the Household would be on teaching, sharing and worship, Mr. Meacock says. "What each group would seek to do is to learn together and grow together as Christians over this two year-term." At the end of the household covenant, which would be either one or two years, two new Households would be formed. New Households would be formed because it is essential they move on at the end of the covenant.
