Having been brought by God’s love to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and to live our lives pleasing to Him, we do now solemnly and joyfully enter into this covenant with God and each other. We promise, as enabled by His grace:
To walk together in brotherly love, exercising affectionate care and watchfulness over one another.
To rejoice at each other’s happiness and to bear each other’s burdens and sorrows.
To work and pray to preserve the unity of the Spirit and the bond of peace, being slow to take offense and being quick to forgive and seek forgiveness.
To not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, nor to neglect to pray for one another.
To bring up those under our care in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and by a pure and loving example seek the salvation of family and friends.
To seek to live carefully in the world, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts.
To reach out to others so they may experience the love of God and be prompted to consider the grace of His Son.
To serve so that the love of God and the Gospel of His Son may be made known.
To contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the Gospel.
May the love of God the Father, the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all.
Amen.
