ABOUT US
Church Covenant
Having been led, as we believe, by the spirit of God to receive the
Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior; and on the profession of our faith, having been
baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we do
now in the presence of God, Angels and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully
enter into the 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 and holiness; to give it a place in our
affections, prayers and services above every organization of human origin; to sustain
its worship, ordinances, discipline and doctrines; to contribute cheerfully and regularly,
as God has prospered us, towards its expenses, for the support of a faithful and
evangelical ministry among us, the relief of the poor and the spread of the gospel
throughout the world. In case of difference of opinion in the church, we will strive
to avoid a contentious spirit, and if we cannot unanimously agree, we will cheerfully
recognize the right of the majority to govern. We also engage to maintain family
and secret devotion; to study diligently the Word of God; to religiously educate
our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances; to walk circumspectly
in the world; to be kind and just to those in our employ, and faithful in service
we promise others; endeavoring in the purity of heart and good will towards all men
to exemplify and commend our holy faith.
