Our Ministry/Membership Covenant

Since we have entered into covenant with God by accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior, being baptized into the Body of Christ as believers, making a public confession of our faith and commitment to Christ in water baptism, and now accepting the calling and leading of the Holy Spirit into the Gospel ministry, we do joyfully and earnestly enter into covenant to serve together as one with each other in the body of Christ.

We commit, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in Christian love, to keep a spirit of unity in the bond of peace, and to minister to one another’s needs. We pledge to watch over one another in brotherly love, to pray for each other, to exhort and encourage each other in our Christian walk, to help each other in times of need and crisis, to rejoice with each other in times of triumph, to weep with each other in times of loss, to speak the truth to each other in love, to be slow to anger with each other, to be quick to listen to one another, to be careful not to offend each other, and always be ready to forgive one another and reconcile speedily.

Realizing that we have been recognized and authorized by our fellow ministers of the Gospel to be named among them as a fellow minister, we commit to living our life as an example of faith, integrity, patience, perseverance, purity, diligence, and commitment. We will share and wear the mantle given us with dignity, honor, respect, and humility, realizing that we represent God. We will study the Gospel diligently, teach it openly and regularly, and live it constantly.  We also commit to work together to reconcile the globe with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and as co-laborers in the harvest field of the world.  We will support the work of the Church locally and globally with offerings and make service in the Church one of our priorities in life and ministry.

We pledge to live Godly lives that reflect the character of Jesus Christ and to encourage each other to do the same.  We will do our best to resist and refrain from the desires of the flesh to include all types of sexual immorality, impure thoughts, lustful pleasures, idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, division, gossip, envy, drunkenness and addictions, wild parties, and other kinds of sin. We agree to quickly seek forgiveness and repent of these things ourselves and to help the other do the same.  We will seek instead to walk and live in the Holy Spirit, letting Him control and operate through our life with both His gifts and fruit. we will strive to walk in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self- control and help each other walk in the same.

We further commit to nurture and maintain a Christian home and family, practice private devotions, educate our children in the word of God, live a life of Christian example in our community, conduct our business and work affairs with Christian ethics, share the faith, hope, and love of Christ with others, and to help each other do the same. We will help each other to understand, develop, and fulfill their individual, God-given destiny and purpose in life and ministry, and commit to walk in that purpose as it unfolds to us. We will quickly and privately come to one another at any time we are concerned about our own Christian walk or that of the other, and will strive to both help and restore each other in an atmosphere free of condemnation and full of love.  If we ever move from this place, we will unite with another body where we can continue in the spirit of Christian covenant and in service to Christ and others.
