Do you agree to the church members' covenant?
As members of this church, we pledge:
1 To walk together in faith, love, and hope;
2 To devote ourselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and prayer;
3 To hold steadfastly that our salvation is by grace through faith in Christ, and not of our own doing;
4 To treasure the Word of God as our daily bread by obeying it, meditating on it, and hiding it in our hearts;
5 To present our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God, which is our spiritual worship;
6 To forsake not the assembling of ourselves together, but to gather consistently to exhort and edify one another;
7 To use our spiritual gifts according to the grace Christ has given us, loving one another with brotherly affection, aiding one another in sickness and distress, and, insofar as it depends on us, living peaceably with all;
8 To speak the truth in love by comforting, encouraging, and, when necessary, rebuking; to reconcile conflicts, putting away bitterness and anger, being kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave us;
9 To give gladly to support the ministry, relieve the poor, and spread the gospel to all nations;
10 To renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, being controlled not by wine but by the Holy Spirit; to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, as we await our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works;
11 To advance God’s purpose for his church by bearing witness to Christ at home and work, at school and play, in private and public, in word and deed, for all our lives, so that all might come to know Christ whom to know is life eternal.
