Our
Church Covenant
United
in the faith that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, revealed
in history, disclosed in the Scriptures, and experienced in
human life, we do solemnly and joyfully make this Covenant
together:
We will
be faithful to the public worship of God, gathering with the
family of the Church to celebrate his glory and remember his
grace.
We will
take seriously the responsibility and privilege of personal
Christian growth, diligently seeking to establish and maintain
a Christian atmosphere in our homes.
We will
love and encourage each other in the family of the Church,
and admonish each other as occasion may require. Our differences
will not separate us but rather increase our understanding
and strengthen the bonds of Christian love.
We will
be faithful stewards, as God has prospered us, contributing
our financial support for the Church and its ministries and
offering ourselves for God's work in the world.
We will,
with God's help, so live our lives that others, seeing the
joy of Christian living, may seek to know Jesus Christ our
Lord.
We will
be a servant Church, recognizing the infinite worth of every
person and believing that Christ has called us to active involvement
in behalf of human brotherhood.
In the
spirit of this Covenant, we pray together:
Almighty
God, Father of us all, witness this Covenant which we make
with each other and with Thee. Guide us as we try to do that
which pleases Thee, to the glory of Thy Son, Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.
