COVENANT 1 – OUR CORE PRINCIPLES
Our life together is guided by these core principles:
God’s will is paramount. We strive to follow His plan as revealed through Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
The Church is our family. As the embodiment of Christ’s love, it fulfills our purpose and guides every aspect of our earthly existence.
The Sacramental Community of the Coworkers of Christ is our training ground. Through the sacraments and supportive fellowship, we learn to overcome personal struggles and find God’s peace. This supportive community becomes our chosen family, bound by the shared commitment to our Common Rule.
Love is our mission. We strive to bring God’s love into the world through our relationships, ministries, and wherever we live – chapter houses, missions, or individual cells. In this way, we find wholeness, whether alone or together.
Local communities are the foundation. Chapter houses, missions, cells, ministries, and Sacramental Community Churches provide support and challenge, fostering growth for God’s people. Empowered by these gifts, we go forth to serve the world, remaining distinct from it while offering overflowing love.
