CHURCH COVENANT

As we trust we have been brought by divine grace to embrace the Lord Jesus Christ and by the influence of his Spirit to give ourselves up to him; so,  we do now solemnly covenant with each other:

 

  • That, God, enabling us we will walk together in brotherly love.
  • That, we will exercise a Christian care and watchfulness over each other, and faithfully build up, encourage, rebuke, admonish, and discipline one another as the case shall require.
  • That we will not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, nor omit the great duty of prayer, both for ourselves and for others.
  • That, we will participate in each others joys and endeavor with tenderness and sympathy to bear each others burdens and sorrows.
  • That, we will earnestly endeavor to bring up such as may be under our care in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
  • That we will seek Divine aid to enable us to walk circumspectfully and watchfully in the world, denying ungodliness and every worldly lust.
  • That we will strive together for the support both temporally and spiritually for a faithful evangelical ministry among us.
  • That we will endeavor by example and effort to win souls to Christ,
  • And through life, amidst evil report and good report, seek to live to the glory of Him who hath called us out of darkness into His marvelous light,
  • And may the Great Head of the church enable us to keep and perform this solemn covenant.

 

Amen
