How we live

Church Covenant

Our Church Covenant– which all church members agree to– lays out the biblical principles that guide how we live together in community:
 
Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior;1 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;2 We do now, by God’s grace and for God’s glory, solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another, as one body in Christ.3
