Our Church Covenant
In consideration of our glorious salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ and our commitment to surrender ourselves wholly unto Him, and having been baptized upon our profession of faith in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we do now solemnly and joyfully covenant together one with another.
By virtue of this Covenant we promise to live our lives by the precepts and principles of God’s Word, and strive for the unity of the Spirit, which comes through the bonds of peace. Likewise, we promise to walk together in brotherly love, as is becoming the Body of Christ, exercising an affectionate care and watchfulness over one another and faithfully encourage, admonish, and entreat one another as occasion may require.
Additionally, we promise to not forsake the assembling of ourselves together for worship and fellowship, nor neglect to pray for ourselves and others. We will rejoice with one another and with all tenderness and sympathy bear each other’s burdens and sorrows. And by following the model of Jesus Christ, that is, by a pure and loving example, live our lives in such a manner that the salvation of our family, neighbors and friends might be more easily obtained.
Finally, we promise to strive to forsake every sin and all forms of ungodliness and remembering that, as our old self has been buried by baptism and raised again in Christ, there is on us a special obligation now to lead a new and holy life.
Therefore, we now covenant together for the mutual edification of one another and for the fulfillment of that Great Commission to which the Bride of Christ has been called, as we sustain our Church’s worship, ordinances, discipline, and beliefs; contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of this ministry, and if we leave this fellowship, as soon as reasonably possible, unite with another true Body of Believers where we can carry out the spirit of this Covenant and the principles of God’s Word.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all. Amen.
