CHURCH COVENANT

Having been led by the Spirit of God to receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and having given public confession of our faith through baptism in the name of the triune God, we do now in the presence of God joyfully and sincerely enter into covenant with one another as one body in Christ.

• We commit as a body of believers to bring glory to God through evangelism, education, worship, and caring for the needs of others.
• We acknowledge the Bible as the inerrant Word of God by which to pattern our lives, and strive to walk together in Christian love for the advancement of God’s kingdom through the ministry of this church.
• We commit to promote the spiritual well-being of this church by upholding Christ’s ordinances, practicing discipline, and following Biblical teachings.
• We commit, through the resources entrusted to us (spiritual gifts, time, and finances), to contribute to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, to missions at home and abroad, and to the relief of human needs.
• We commit to foster spiritual growth in our families and in our own individual lives, to educate our children in the truths of God’s Word, and to encourage non– believers to accept Christ as their Savior.
• We commit to walk in a holy and responsible manner in the world, to be salt and light in society, to be just in all our relationships, and to exemplify Christ in our lifestyles. Understanding that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, we choose to avoid all practices which could be harmful to ourselves, to others, or to the reputation of our Lord and His church.
• We commit to care for one another in Christian love and concern, to uphold each other in prayer, to encourage each other, to help each other in all areas of life, and to be slow to take offense but always ready to reconcile, being mindful of the teachings and example our Savior Jesus Christ.
• We determine that, when we move to a different location, we will unite with another congregation of like faith, in order to continue to carry out the spirit of this covenant found in the principles of God’s Word.
