Our Church Covenant
Having been born again by the grace of God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and having confessed our faith before others, we do in the presence of God and this Church enter into covenant with one another as one body in Christ.
We will endeavor to walk in the spirit manifesting Christ like love, rejoicing with each other and bearing each other's burdens and sorrows, exercising care for each other and admonishing and encouraging one another, and praying for one another.
We will endeavor to make disciples of Jesus Christ, to participate in public worship and the ordinances, to support the Church's doctrines and disciplines, to contribute to the support of this ministry with our time, money and talents, including caring for the poor and in spreading the Gospel in keeping with Scripture.
We will seek the salvation of our family, friends, and those whom the Lord brings into our sphere of influence. We will endeavor to be an example of Christ to those under our care, nurturing and encouraging them to be fully developed followers of Christ.
We will remember that we have been called to live a new and holy life, putting off those things that displease and dishonor God, and putting on that which honors God and promotes personal holiness (Ephesians 4:22-24)
