Committees
Of the four aspects (Head, Heart, Hands & Health) of the Discipleship Program, the Covenant Groups are the piece of the program that concentrates on the equipping the hands for serving others in Christian community. Through the hands component, students have the opportunity to explore a wide variety of ministries with varying levels of commitment and responsibility. Each semester, students have the opportunity to participate in Hands & Feet Days, a service project in the community of Winfield, as well as the surrounding communities, which is organized by the Missions committee. Also, we have annual mission trips which have been to places such as Louisiana, St. Louis and Newton, Kansas, with an international mission trip every four years. In May of ‘07, we went to Costa Rica, then in '11 we went to the Dominican Republic.
The primary aspect of equipping takes place by students’ participation in a student-lead committee. Discipleship has various leadership positions that are held by the 3rd year team. Some of these groups include; evangelism, nurture, social, missions, kingdom, hands and feet, mentoring, recruitment/public relations, communications, and celebrations. These different teams work to come up with team building opportunities for all of the team to do together and build community. Discipleship also does volunteer and mission work through out the year. All these teams and individuals work together to make the team as a whole run smoothly, and to serve God and share his love.
