Thanking God for the light we have received, and for the revelation of Jesus which we now enjoy; and knowing that God for Christ’s sake has pardoned our sins, and having been baptized on a profession of faith in Christ Jesus into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; we do this day before God and world, with deep joy and great solemnity enter into a covenant with one another, as one body in Christ.

 

     We therefore, covenant and agree that by the aid of the Holy Spirit, we will walk together in love and Christian fellowship.   We promise to labor for the advancement and final triumph of the church to sustain its worship by attending the house of God and supporting the ministry; to guard the ordinances, enforce the discipline, and defend the doctrine.

 

     We also pledge ourselves to walk circumspectly in the world; to be honest, just, and faithful in our business relations; and as God may give us help we promise to live righteous and holy lives.

 

     We further promise to watch over each other in brotherly love; to visit the sick, to pray for each other and the world, to aid the poor and needy, and to perform such other kind offices as may be well pleasing in the sight of God.

 

     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 the covenant and the principles of

God’s Word.
