Covenant and Affinity Groups
People come to a house of worship looking for ways to broaden and deepen their spiritual growth. One of the ways we do that at UUSD is through Covenant and Affinity Groups. We gather to share stories, ideas, joys, and sorrows and to create a community of support and caring. In these groups, we covenant with each other to listen deeply, speak honestly, and build trust.

How Covenant Groups work
- Each group is made up of 8-12 people who agree (covenant) to strengthen connections with each other and with our congregation.
- Groups usually meet once a month to discuss spiritual growth, life experiences, and other topics of choice.
- Group discussion helps us deepen our spiritual lives.
- Both new and long-term members have an opportunity to be in relationship in a smaller gathering.
- Requirements include confidentiality of discussions, upholding the UUSD Covenant of Good Relations, and a commitment to attend meetings.
