Church Covenant
For as much as Almighty God, by His grace, has been pleased to call us out of
darkness into His light, and having been baptized upon a profession of our faith
in Christ Jesus, and having given ourselves to the Lord, and one another in a
gospel church way to be governed and guided by a proper discipline agreeable to
the word of God,
We do covenant together by the help of God to keep up the discipline of the
church of which we are members, in brotherly affection toward each other.
To watch over one another, and if need be in the most tender and affectionate
manner to reprove one another, and not to be whispering and backbiting.
We agree, with God's assistance, to attend our church meetings and not absent
ourselves from the communion of the Lord's Supper without lawful excuse.
To be ready to communicate to the defraying of the church expenses and for the
help of the Ministry. Not to irregularly depart from the fellowship of the
church, or to remove to the bounds of distant churches without a regular letter
of dismission, and placing it in the church where we reside.
We do agree to keep sacred these things by the help of God.
AMEN
