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 Ghost.
We do now, in the presence of God, angels, and His assembly, most solemnly and joyfully
enter into 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, holiness, and comfort.
To promote its prosperity and spirituality, to sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline, and
doctrine.
To contribute cheerfully and regularly to support the ministry, the expenses of the church,
the relief of the poor, and the spread of the gospel through all nations.
We also engage to maintain family and secret devotions, to religiously educate our children,
to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances.
To walk circumspectly in the world, to be just in our dealings, faithful in our engagements,
and exemplary in our deportment.
To avoid all tattling, backbiting, and excessive anger.
To abstain from the sale and use of intoxicating drinks as a beverage, and to be zealous in
our efforts to advance the kingdom of our Savior.
We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly love.
To remember each other in prayer, to aid each other in sickness and distress, to cultivate
Christian sympathy in feeling and courtesy in speech.
To be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation, and mindful of the rules of
our savior to secure it without delay.
We moreover engage that when we remove from this place we will, as soon as possible,
unite with some other church, where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the
principles of God’s Word.
