Church Covenant

Having been led by the grace of God to embrace our Lord Jesus Christ, and to give ourselves wholly to Him as Savior and Head of His glorious body the church, we publicly declare our reliance upon Him as our Prophet, Priest and King, and we solemnly and joyfully covenant together to walk in Him in brotherly love for His glory.

We do now, in the presence of the great, omniscient and most glorious God, and before angels and men give ourselves to the LORD, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, seeking His enablement for the fulfilling of this covenant.

We agree as strength may be given from above to exercise mutual care and watchfulness for one another, to promote the growth of the whole church in Christian knowledge and true holiness, to exhort and admonish one another in a spirit of meekness and in love considering ourselves lest we also be tempted.

We covenant together to uphold the public worship of God; to honor Christ’s ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper; to give ourselves faithfully to private and family worship in our homes; to instruct and diligently train those under our care in the gospel truth.

As “the light of the world” and “the salt of the earth” we will by divine enablement deny ungodliness and every worldly lust, and we will earnestly seek to walk circumspectly in the world, that we may thereby avoid bringing dishonor to Christ our Lord, His Church, and ourselves and that we may be used of Him to attract many sinners to the Savior.

We agree to contribute freely and cheerfully of our income as God has graciously prospered us for the maintenance of a faithful and evangelical ministry among us, for the support of the needy, and for the spread of the gospel throughout the world.

May the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to Whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.  (Hebrews 13: 20-21)
