Church Covenant and Vision Statement

VISION:

A community of believers and seekers desiring to draw closer to God and love others more.

COVENANT:

Having been led, as we believe, by the spirit of God to receive Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, and believing that the Bible is the word and law of God, and having united with this Church, we do now, in the presence of God, enter into covenant with each other. We agree to work harmoniously together in this church by helping to sustain its worship and doctrine, by contributing to the expenses of its ministries and by giving our talents and time to carry on its activities. In our private lives we will, with the help of God, exemplify through our daily conduct the standard of Christian living. We shall endeavor to maintain the spirit of true religion in our homes, use our personal influence to bring others into Christian life, and be just and sympathetic in all our dealings with our fellow men. We shall do all within our power to spread the gospel of Christ throughout the world. 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 to be always ready to seek reconciliation 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.
