CHURCH COVENANT
As a bond of unity among us, we happily enter into the following
Covenant with each other:
Having been led by the Spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus
Christ as our Saviour, and on the profession of our faith in Him,
having been baptized in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Spirit, we do now most solemnly and joyfully enter into Covenant
with one another.
We promise that we will watch over and counsel one another in the
spirit of brotherly love, that we will remember one another in our
prayers, and that we will aid each other in sickness and distress.
We further agree, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to walk together
in Christian love; to strive for the advancement of this church
in knowledge, holiness, and comfort; to promote it's prosperity
and spirituality; to sustain it's worship ordinances, disipline
and doctrines; to give it a sacred pre-eminence over all institutions
of human origin; and to contribute cheerfully and regularly to the
support of the Ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief
of the poor, and the spreading of the Gospel throughtout the world.
We further covenant to: Religiously educate and encourage our children;
to seek the Salvation of our kindred and acquaintances; to live
carefully in this world; to be just in our dealings, and faithful
in our engagements, and to endeavor to grow in the Grace and knowledge
of our Lord and Saviour, that amidst evil and good report we will
humbly and earnestly seek to live to the honor and Glory of our
Lord, Who loves us and gave Himself for us.
