Our Church Covenant Having been led by the Holy Spirit of God to receive Jesus Christ as Saviour and to confess Him as Lord, and on confession of this faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, we do now, in the presence of God and this assembly most solemnly and joyfully covenant with one another, as one body in Christ, to lead a life worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him. We promise, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to forsake the ways of sin and to walk together in Christian love and in the paths of righteousness. With this in view we engage to strive together for both the peace and purity of this Church; to sustain its worship and steadfastly to cherish and hold its ordinances, disciplines and doctrines; to contribute, as faithful stewards, such time, talent and money, in the measure that God prospers each of us, that the responsibility for the work of the local Church and the world-wide ministry of spreading the Gospel be faithfully and effectively discharged. We engage to maintain a systematic, consistent family altar with Bible reading and prayer; to educate our children in the Christian faith and personally seek to win them to Christ in the home; to seek the salvation of our family and friends; to walk carefully in our actions, conversation and manner of life; to abstain from the use and the sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage, and from every form of evil; to be just in our dealings; to avoid tattling, gossiping, back-biting, and excessive anger; and to be zealous in our personal witness for Christ. We engage to watch over one another in brotherly love; to remember one another in prayer; to aid one another in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy and feeling and courtesy in speech; to not be easily hurt and offended if things do not go the way we plan; to be ready for reconciliation immediately, according to Christ's command in Matthew 18. We engage to honor, love and esteem our Pastor and his family; to pray for him fervently; to support him in the spiritual exercise of his official authority; to attend regularly upon his administrations; to manifest a tender regard for his reputation; to protect him from malicious gossip and back-biting; and to contribute towards his support in proportion to our ability. We moreover engage that when we move from this place, we will, as soon as possible, unite with some local church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of the Word of God. |
