" I Can Do All Things Through Christ, Which Strengthens Me"
Church
Covenant
Having been led, as we believe, by the spirit of God to receive the Lord
Jesus Christ as our Saviour, and on the profession of our faith, having been
baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son and the Holy Ghost, we do
now in the presence of God angels and this assembly most solemnly and
joyfully enter into covenant with one another as one body in
Christ.
We engage, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in
Christian love; to strive for the advancement of this Church in knowledge,
holiness, and comfort; to promote its prosperity and spirituality; to
sustain its worship; ordinances, discipline and doctrine; to contribute
cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the
church and the relief of the poor, and the spread of the Gospel through all
nations.
We also engage to maintain family and secret devotions, to religiously
educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and
acquaintances; to walk circumspectly in the world; to be just in our
dealings, faithful in our engagements, and exemplary in our deportment; to
avoid backbiting, all tattling, and excessive anger, to abstain from the
sale and use of intoxicating drinks as a beverage, and to be zealous in our
efforts to advance the kingdom of our Saviour.
We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly love; to
remember each other in prayer; to aid each other in sickness and distress;
to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and courtesy of speech; to be
slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation and mindful of the
rules of our Saviour to secure it without delay.
We moreover engage that when we remove from this place we will as soon as
possible, unite with some other church, where we can carry out the spirit of
this covenant; and the principles of God's word.
