Church Covenant:

 

HAVING been led by the Spirit of God to profess our faith in Jesus Christ, and having been baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, we do now solemnly and joyfully affirm our covenant with God and with each other:

 

We pledge to serve Christ in the fellowship of this congregation. We shall endeavor to love one another, to remember on another in prayer, to share in each other's joys, and to sustain each other in times of distress.

We aspire to be a fellowship of the concerned, where the lost may find Jesus Christ, sinners may find pardon, seekers may find meaning for their lives, and where all who come may find welcome.

We shall strive to be responsible church members through faithful attendance, study and giving.

We shall seek to be obedient to Christ in our daily living, using the Holy Bible as our guide.

Within our homes, in our labor, and while at leisure we shall strive for attitudes and actions which will reflect God's spirit working through us.

We further resolve to accept our responsibilities as Christian citizens.

Believing that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, we shall endeavor to avoid experiences and habits that defile the body and hinder our witness.

Believing that our call to membership in The Church is a call to witness in the world, we dedicate ourselves anew as servants of the Lord of all life.

As we pledge our support to the work of our missionaries throughout the world, we commit ourselves to the mission to which God calls us.

 

Acknowledging our human frailties and ever seeking forgiveness and uplifting, we profess our need of the Holy Spirit, and commit our lives to Jesus Christ and through Him to the care, the judgement, the deliverance, and the mercy of Almighty God. Amen.
