Covenant House Residents
- Live together in an intentional community
made up of 2 - 4 people. Ambassadors range in age from 35 years of
age or older.
- Share a common budget for groceries and work together
to share meals throughout the week.
- Build deep, long-term relationships with other
committed followers of Christ. People who participate in the program come
from many different backgrounds and have different interests. Our
Covenant House program allows these diverse people to come together with a
common vision, building relationships that might not otherwise have
blossomed. Many of our residents have reflected that were it not for
their intentional living experience, they probably would not have met one
another and become friends. Our Covenant House - Atlanta seeks to
provide space to break down walls and build relationships around our common
love of Jesus Christ.
- Set aside one afternoon each week when the community
joins together to have a meal and pray, study, worship, and read scripture
together. For many residents this is the most important time of the
week. Without this time, living together would be less joyous.
- Make time each month to join together to serve the Forest Park, GA community. These opportunities focus on the needs of the neighborhood
where the house is located. Service projects might include helping
seniors make repairs on their houses, providing dinner to folks who are
staying at the downtown shelter, helping clean up the local park with
other neighbors, and many more opportunities.
- Take 2 retreats together during the year. These
times of reflection are led by our staff and help participants to put
their experiences in perspective. All residents receive tuition-free Bible College & Seminary courses in the classroom once a week.
- Are required to be actively engaged in a local church
of their choosing throughout their participation, help conduct weekly Cell Church Fellowship and monthly Corporate Worship & Training Seminars.
Our Common Vision

- Sharing economic resources with fellow community members and the needy among us.
- Hospitality to the stranger
- Lament for racial divisions within the church and our communities combined with the active pursuit of a just reconciliation.
- Humble submission to Christ's body, the church.
- Intentional formation in the way of Christ and the rule of living in community.
- Nurturing common life among members of the intentional community.
