Since by God's grace we have accepted Christ
as Savior and Lord, we as members of Immanuel Baptist Church, covenant together that,
with God's help:
We will walk together in brotherly love.
We will show loving care for one another and encourage, counsel, and admonish one another.
We will assemble faithfully for worship and
pray earnestly for others as well as for ourselves.
We will endeavor to bring up those under our care
"in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."
We will seek, by Christian example and personal effort, to win others to Christ and to encourage
their growth toward Christian maturity.
We will share one another's joys and endeavor to
bear one another's burdens and sorrows.
We will oppose all conduct which compromises our Christian faith and will uphold high standards of Christian morality.
We will give evidence of the reality of our
conversion and baptism by living a godly, fruitful life.
We will maintain a faithful ministry of worship, evangelism, education, and service.
We will be faithful stewards of our resources and abilities in sharing the gospel with people of all nations.
As a result of this covenant relationship,
we will seek earnestly to live in the glory of God who brought us out of darkness
into His marvelous light. |
