COVENANT
Since we have committed ourselves to Jesus Christ and have experienced the acceptance, forgiveness and redemption of God, our Father, we covenant together as members of the body of believers that with God’s help, the guiding presence of his spirit, we will walk together in brotherly love.
We will show loving care for one another and encourage, counsel and admonish one another. We will assemble faithfully for worship and fellowship, and will pray earnestly for others as well as ourselves. We will endeavor to bring up those under our care "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord". We will seek by Christian example and personal effort, to win others to Christ and to encourage their growth toward Christian maturity. We will share one another’s joy and endeavor to bear one another’s burdens and sorrows. We will conduct ourselves on a manner worthy of the Lord, be faithful to spiritual duties essential to a Christian life, participate regularly in the activities of this body of believers, give regularly and generously of our resources and abilities in sharing the gospel with people of all nations. Because of this covenant relationship, we will seek earnestly to live to the glory of God who brought us out of the darkness into His marvelous light.
