Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord and, upon the profession of our faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, 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 commit ourselves to living under the authority of Jesus Christ as revealed by the Holy Spirit.

We commit ourselves to the worship of God with dedication and devotion.

We commit ourselves to serious and systematic study of the Bible, the inspired Word of God, and to seeking through the leadership of the Holy Spirit to understand and apply its truths to our daily lives.

We commit ourselves to regular and sacrificial giving of money, time and abilities.

We commit ourselves to preserve, promote and practice religious liberty by accepting and respecting the rights and responsibilities of the individual Christian, male and female, to live and minister as led by the Holy Spirit; by affirming the autonomy of the local church; by upholding the separation of church and state, and by respecting the freedom of all people in matters of conscience.

We commit ourselves to minister to one another and to the community by meeting physical needs, nurturing emotional well-being  and fostering spiritual growth and maturity.

We commit ourselves to evangelism and missions, making known through word and deed the love of God and the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.

We commit ourselves to voluntary cooperation with other churches in the body of Christ, demonstrating the power of God’s love through our unity.

We commit ourselves to the free and open exchange  of ideas concerning the governance of the church, trusting that the Holy Spirit uses this exchange to reveal God’s will.

We commit ourselves to the faithful care and creative use of our land and buildings.

Believing that God offers and sustains this covenant relationship, relying on the power of God’s love and grace and giving support to one another, we joyfully pledge to keep these promises. Amen.
