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, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost, we do now in the presence of God, angels, and this
assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with
one another, as one body in Christ.
We engage, therefore, 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 its prosperity and
spirituality; to sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline,
and doctrines; to contribute cheerfully and regularly to the
support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief
of the poor, and the spread of the gospel through all nations.
We also engage to maintain
family and secret devotion; to religiously educate our children;
to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances; to walk
circumspectly in the world; to be just in our dealings, faithful
in our engage-ments and exemplary in our deportment; to avoid
all tattling, backbiting, and excessive anger; to abstain from
the sale of, and use of destructive drugs or intoxicating drinks
as a beverage; to shun pornography; and to be zealous in our
efforts to advance the kingdom of our Savior.
We further engage to watch
over one another in brotherly love; to remember each other in
prayer; to aid each other in sickness and distress; to cultivate
Christian sympathy in feeling and courtesy in speech; to be slow
to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation, and
mindful of the rules of our Savior, to secure it without delay.
We moreover engage that,
when we remove from this place, we will as soon as possible
unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit
of this covenant and the principles of God's Word.
