Membership Covenant

By God’s grace, we are gathered as those who have repented and believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. We have given ourselves to Him and afﬁrmed one another as citizens of his kingdom. And now in response to His glorious Gospel, we covenant together as one body in Christ by the enabling power of the Holy Spirit…

To Glorify God by...

delighting ourselves in His Word and seeking the Lord continually in prayer.
living with wisdom in the world, denying ungodliness, and pursuing holiness.
gathering regularly to worship God and exalt Christ through corporate worship.

To Love One Another by...

giving up our preferences for the sake of maintaining the unity of the Spirit.
faithfully praying for one another.
walking together in love as Christ commands: caring for, watching over, encouraging, and admonishing one another with all patience.
rejoicing at each other's happiness and joys and bearing each other's burdens and sorrows.
cooperating with, submitting to, and prayerfully supporting the leadership of the pastor(s) and deacons who have been entrusted by God to shepherd and serve this local body.

To Make Disciples by...

proclaiming the gospel and teaching all that Christ commanded wherever we go.
contributing our resources cheerfully to the expenses of the church, the needs of our neighbors, and the spread of the gospel to all nations.

If we move from this local body, we will join another gospel-preaching church as soon as possible where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God’s Word. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all. Amen.
