What We Believe
Our Church Covenant
A. Having been drawn by the Father and led by the Holy Spirit unto repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, and upon our profession of faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, we do now joyfully and solemnly covenant with each other as one body in Christ. B. By God’s grace, we will trust in and obey the Word of God, affirming it as the final and supreme authority for our lives. As we hear the Word preached by our leaders, we will test biblically the truth of that instruction. Finding them faithful with the Gospel, we will voluntarily submit ourselves to the leaders Christ has given our church, recognizing that they must give an account. C. By God’s grace, we will strive for the advancement of this church and promote its spiritual health in reflecting the character of God. We will sustain and submit to its worship, ordinances, discipline, and doctrines. We will contribute regularly, sacrificially, and cheerfully to support the ministry and expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the Gospel through all nations. D. By God’s grace, we will maintain personal and family devotions. We will bring up any who are under our care in the nurture and admonition of the Lord through a pure and loving example as we share the Gospel and seek the salvation of our family, friends, and all others. We will walk in a manner worthy of the Gospel, living carefully in the world, denying ungodliness and lusts. We will be faithful in all that we do in order to bring honor and glory to Jesus Christ. E. By God’s grace, we will diligently keep the unity of the Spirit with the peace that binds us, and we will not forsake the regular assembling of ourselves together with this body. We will walk together in Christian love, watch over one another as siblings in God’s family, and remember one another in prayer. We will speak in a way that is edifying, serve in a way that provides tangible care, and listen in a way that is slow to take offense, open to correction, and ready for reconciliation. F. By God’s grace, if we move from this place, we will unite with a likeminded church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant. G. May the grace of Jesus Christ, the love of the Father, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all.
