Church Covenant
Since we have committed ourselves to Jesus Christ and have experienced the acceptance, forgiveness and redemption of God our Father, we covenant together as members of this Church that with God's help through the guiding presence of the Holy Spirit:
- We will walk together in brotherly love. John 13:34-35
- We will show loving care for one another and encourage, counsel, and admonish one another. Cod 3:12-17
- We will assemble faithfully for worship and fellowship, and will pray earnestly for others as well as ourselves. Heb. 10:23-25
- We will endeavor to maintain personal and family devotion, and to bring up those under our care "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." Eph 6:4
- We will seek by Christian example and personal effort, to win others to Christ and to encourage their growth toward Christian maturity. Matt. 28:18-20
- We will share one another's joys and endeavor to bear one another's burdens and sorrows. Gal. 6:2
- We will oppose all conduct which compromises our Christian faith and will uphold high standards of Christian morality. Titus 2:1-8
- We will prove the reality of our conversion by living Godly, fruitful lives. Rom. 6:4 and Eph. 4
- We will maintain a faithful ministry of worship, missions, evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, and service. Ps. 100:2; Gal. 5:13; Matt. 20:28
- We will be faithful stewards of our resources and abilities in sharing the Gospel with people of all nations. Mal.3; Matt.28
- When we move from this community, we will as soon as possible, unite with another church where we can continue in fellowship and service with God's people.
- As a result of this covenant relationship, we will seek earnestly to live to the glory of God who brought us out of darkness into His marvelous light. 1Pet. 2:9
