Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we solemnly covenant
together that we will increasingly submit ourselves to Jesus as
Lord and Savior, and we rededicate ourselves to the doing of God’s will, in so far as we know it.

That we will whole-heartedly seek to keep the commandments that Jesus designated as of first importance, namely, to love
God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbors as we do ourselves; (Mark. 12:30-31).

That we will put away from us all bitterness, and wrath, and
anger, and clamor, and evil speaking and be kind to one
another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God, for Christ's sake,        has forgiven us; (Eph. 4:31)

That we have no part with the unfruitful works of darkness but
seek to live as children of Light, abstaining from all practices
that harm our bodies or jeopardize our own or another’s faith;
(Eph. 5:11,15; 1 Cor. 8:9).

That we will confess our faults, one to another, and pray, one
for another, and whenever anybody has anything against us,
we will go to that person, and seek to be reconciled;
(James 5:16; Matt. 5:23-24; 18:15-17).

That as we have opportunity, we will do good to all, especially
to those that are of the household of faith; (Gal. 6:10)

That we will urge the unsaved to accept Jesus as Savior and
Lord and promise to faithfully contribute our time, talent and
resources to support the church and its missionary outreach in
obedience to Christ’s “Great Commission”; (Matt.28:1-20)

That we accept the challenge of having a personal devotional
life and, as far as is possible, endeavor to have family worship;
(Luke 18:1)

That we will bring our children up in the nurture and admonition
of the Lord; (Eph. 6:4)

That we will not neglect the assembling of ourselves together in worship and study; (Hebrews 10:25; 2 Tim. 2:15)

That we will give liberally and in proportion to our prosperity,
not grudgingly, nor of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver;
(I Cor. 16:2; 2 Cor.9:7)

That we will respect and honor the leadership of those that speak to us the Word of God; (I Thess. 5:12-13)

And we further covenant, that when we move from this place, we will, as soon as possible, unite with some other church of like faith, where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God’s Word.
