THE 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, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, we do
now in the presence of God, angels and this assembly, most solemnly and
joyfully enter into the 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 provide its prosperity and spirituality; to sustain
its worship, ordinances, discipline, and doctrines; to contribute cheerfully
and regularly to the support of the ministry, the experiences of the church,
the relief of the poor, and to spread 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 all 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 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 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.
