Covenant Relationships™ — Church-Based Seminar Facilitator Guide
Lead your congregation through a church-wide formation event — with full pastoral preparation and confidence.
⚠ Facilitators only — not for participant distribution.
A church-wide seminar is a different kind of leadership challenge than a small group or workshop. You are holding a room with married couples, singles, divorced members, and widowed members — all at once, all in different seasons — and asking all of them to do formation work together. This guide gives you the structure, the teaching notes, and the pastoral preparation to lead that room with authority.
What's Inside:
Room setup, table group configuration, and logistical guidance for a 2–3 hour in-person seminar
Full session-by-session flow with timing and transition guidance
Opening and welcome scripts
Teaching notes for all four sessions
How to guide the Congregation Covenant Commitment
Difficult moments protocols
Guidance on following up with specific members after the seminar
How to connect the seminar to an ongoing congregational formation journey using the broader Mantled for Marriage™ series
Closing script and prayer leadership guidance
Who This Is For:
Lead pastors, marriage ministry directors, and ministry leaders hosting the Covenant Relationships seminar as a congregational formation event. Also suitable for denominational leaders or ministry networks hosting multi-church versions of the seminar.
The CR Seminar is the only in-person, church-wide product in the Mantled for Marriage™ Ecosystem.
