About Us

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, angels

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 expense of  the church, the relief of the poor and 

the spread of the gospel through all 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 dealings,

faithful in our engagements and exemplary in our deportment; to avoid a

ll tattling, backbiting and excessive anger; and to be zealous in our efforts

to advance the kingdom of our Savior.

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 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 this covenant and the principles of

God's Word.
