Description:
The covenant group mentor serves a vital role in accomplishing the learning outcomes of Truett's Spiritual Formation program by shepherding students, teaching practical wisdom, asking good questions, and modeling Christ-like character.

2. Demonstrate a commitment to a life of intentional spiritual development and accountability to spiritual companions and mentors.
3. Provide mutual encouragement and support for a diverse group of individuals by listening and responding with empathy and spiritual discernment in small groups.
4. Exhibit a commitment to self-awareness and self-assessment as a disciple of Christ who is being formed for service to God in the world.
5. Integrate disciplines of prayer and other forms of practice into daily life and describe the implications for personal spiritual formation.
6. Develop a personal covenant in collaboration with others close to them in order to discern a path of vocation and devotion in their relationship with God.

To accomplish these outcomes, the covenant group mentor will:

• Work in collaboration with course instructors to teach and disciple students.
• Be present for large group gathering with instructors and small group gatherings with their covenant group.
• Focus students on the given lesson aims for each class session.
• Facilitate a conversation among students, fostering constructive dialogue.
• Communicate with the Spiritual Formation office when the mentor anticipates being absent, and to appoint a student to guide discussion and take attendance on the date of absence.
• Record attendance using designated online tools.
• Read student reflections to prepare for discussions.
• Remain compliant with Baylor University's policies and procedures (completion of Title IX training, etc.).
• Lead groups in a spirit that is consistent with Truett Seminary's 'Vision for Common Life Together' and 'Statement of Common Faith.'
