Having
been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus Christ
as our Savior and Lord, and on the profession of our faith, having been baptized
in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we do now in
the presence of God and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into
covenant with one another, as one body in Christ.
We engage, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in
Christian love; to strive for the advancement of this church, in knowledge,
holiness, and comfort; to promote its prosperity and spirituality; to sustain
its worship, ordinances, disciplines, and doctrines.
To contribute cheerfully and regularly to the ministry, the expenses of the
church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the Gospel throughout the
nations.
We also engage to maintain family and secret devotions; to educate our children
religiously; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances. To walk
circumspectly in the world; to be just in our dealings; faithful to our
engagements, and exemplary in our deportment; and to be zealous in our efforts
to advance the kingdom of our Savior.
We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly love; to remember one
another in prayer; to aid one another in sickness and distress; to cultivate
Christian sympathy in feeling and courtesy in speech; to be slow to take
offense, but always ready for reconciliation and, mindful of the rules of our
Savior, to secure it without delay.
We moreover engage that when we remove from this place we will as soon as
possible unite with some other church, where we can carry out the spirit of this
covenant and the principles of God's Word.
