We gladly receive all who want to join us as we worship, serve, and follow Jesus Christ. When you are ready to enter into the following covenant and can answer the questions below, please let the Pastor or one of the Elders know.
Do you promise to follow the leadership of this church insofar as we manage it in accordance with Scripture?
Jesus Christ will be my top priority. In all that I say and do, I will seek to emulate the Lord Jesus Christ, upon whom I will rely to keep the covenant that I am making.
I will take time to be in church each week I am able in order to worship God as part of my church home.
I will study my Bible, pray, serve others and develop other Christian disciplines and habits. In particular, I will seek to be part of a Bible Study Sunday School or other group where I may better learn to follow Christ.
I will tell my friends about the Lord Jesus Christ and the difference he has made in my life, and I will invite them to come and also be a part of this church.
I will actively discover and use my spiritual gifts to serve others as part of this church. I promise to respect the feelings and opinions of the other members of this church and not spread gossip or rumor. Finally, I promise to find some place in this church where I can work and share as part of this church.
I promise to show unconditional love toward the other members of this church. As one who is determined to show the love of God to other members, I will maintain moral purity toward its members, sacrificially attempt to meet legitimate needs of members, and demonstrate a life of faith, hope, and love toward others.
I will share the material wealth God has given me in the service of the Kingdom at this church.
