Covenant
Affirming our
membership in the Holy Church throughout all the world and our
fellowship in this congregation with those who obtained like
precious faith, we renew our vows of fidelity to our Lord Jesus
Christ, and solemnly covenant and promise.
That we will walk together in
brotherly love, as is becoming in members of a Christian Church;
that we will exercise an affectionate care and watchfulness over
each other, and faithfully admonish and entreat one another as
occasion may require.
That we will not forsake the
assembling of ourselves together, nor neglect to pray for ourselves
and others.
That we will endeavor to bring up
such as may at any time be under our care in the nurture and
admonition of the Lord, and by a pure and holy example to win our
kindred and acquaintances to the Saviour, to holiness and eternal
life.
Statement of Faith
1. Belief in God the Father Almighty,
maker of Heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ His Son and our Saviour and in regeneration of the believer by the Holy
Spirit.
2. Belief in the Scripture of the
Old and New Testaments as the inspired Word of God and the only
infallible rule of faith and practice.
3. Belief that repenting one’s
sins and asking forgiveness from our Heavenly Father, are the
grounds on which any person can receive Jesus as his Saviour.
4. Belief that God so loved the
world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in
Him has everlasting life.
5. Belief that all persons shall be judged according the deeds
done in the body, and that all who are redeemed
will be raised to everlasting life and blessedness in Heaven (II
Corinthians 5:10), and the unsaved will be raised to everlasting
punishment in hell (Revelation 20: 11-15).
