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, and this 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 doctrines; to contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, and the relief of the poor, and the spread of the gospel through the 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 dealing, faithful in our engagements, and exemplary in our deportment; to avoid tattling, backbiting, and excessive anger; to abstain from the sale and use of intoxicating drinks as a beverage; to be zealous in our efforts to advance the kingdom of our Savior. We further engage to watch over one another in sickness and distress;
remember one another in prayer; to cultivate Christian sympathy and feeling and 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 the covenant and the principles of God's Word. If you would like to download a copy in pdf printable
