Having been led as we believe by the Holy Spirit of God to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our savior, to do the Father’s will and on the profession of our faith having been baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit. We do now in the presence of God 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 Bible study in knowledge, holiness and comfort.
To promote its prosperity and spirituality. To sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline and doctrine.
To contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the Bible study, the relief of the poor and the spread of the gospel to all nations
We also engage to maintain family devotion. 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 of and use of intoxicating drinks as a beverage, and additive drugs. 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 one another in prayer. To aid one another in sickness and distress. To cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and Christian 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 we will unite with a church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God’s word.
