Having been led as
we believe by the Spirit of God to receive the Lord Jesus
Christ as our Lord and Savior and, on the profession of our
faith, having been baptized by immersion 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 enter into covenant with one another as one body in
Christ.
• We will
walk together in Christian 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
for 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 joys and endeavor to bear
one another's burdens and sorrows.
• We will oppose all conduct which compromises our
Christian faith and will uphold high standards of
Christian morality.
• We will prove the reality of our conversion by living
godly, fruitful lives.
• We will maintain a faithful ministry of worship,
witness, education, fellowship, and service.
• We will be faithful stewards of our resources and
abilities in sharing the gospel with people of all
nations.
• As a result of this covenant relationship, we will
seek earnestly to live to the glory of God who brought us
out of darkness into marvelous light.
As our
declaration of faith, we believe the Bible is the
authoritative Word of God, Divinely inspired. We believe in
the Priesthood of the Believer, and the Autonomy of the
local Church. We are committed to the Great Commission. |
