Church Covenant

Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior, and on the profession of our faith having been baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we do now most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant one with another, as one body in Christ.

In Our Lives

...we pledge to Christ our love, faith, and obedience and covenant to live as Christians in our community and in our world, to be exemplary in our conduct, just in our dealings, and faithful in our engagements. We strive to maintain a Christ-like walk always guarding our testimony and to be zealous in our efforts to advance the Kingdom of our Savior.

In Our Homes

....we covenant to engage in the reading and meditation of the Scriptures both personally and as a family. We covenant to teach our children by instruction and example that Jesus is our Savior and Lord, and to seek the salvation of our family and acquaintances.

In Our Church

…we covenant to live with one another in Christ-like love, to pray for one another, to help each other in sickness and distress, to cultivate Christian friendships and be hospitable to strangers; avoiding all tattling, backbiting, gossip, and excessive anger; to be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation; to forgive one another as Christ has forgiven us, to be gentle with those of differing preference and opinion; and to minister to one another in compassion, sacrifice and concern as we share each other’s joys and sorrows.

As Disciples of Jesus Christ

…. we covenant to grow in his grace and knowledge, we will depend on God’s help to not forsake gathering together; nor neglect to study the Holy Scriptures, nor fail to pray faithfully. We will seek to know and develop our spiritual gifts to serve others in love as God gives us opportunity. We also covenant to contribute cheerfully and regularly to the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the Gospel through all nations. We will when we move from this place, as soon as possible, unite with another church were we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God’s Word.
