We Believe

Having been led by the Holy Spirit of God to receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, and having been baptized in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, I do now in the presence of God, most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with other believers of this congregation, as one body in Christ.

I will endeavor, by the aid of the Holy Spirit,

. . . to walk together in Christian love, and maintain the unity of the believer in the church;
. . . to strive for the advancement of this congregation in knowledge, holiness, and love;
. . . to sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline and doctrines;
. . . to contribute cheerfully and willingly to the support of its ministry;
. . . to walk circumspectly in the world so as to maintain a strong Christian testimony;
. . . to watch over other believers in brotherly love, through prayer, and giving aid in times of need;
. . . to maintain a clear conscience by seeking forgiveness, and forgiving others according to the teachings of our Lord Jesus;
. . . to not forsake the assembling of myself together with other believers if it ever becomes necessary to leave this congregation.
. . . to submit to the leadership of this congregation and be subject to its discipline.

If at any time I find myself out of harmony with the leadership and practices of this congregation, and am not able to resolve the issue after proper appeals are made, I will quietly remove myself from membership, and refrain from dissension among the congregation.
