FAITH BIBLE CHURCH
Having been called by God to this place, I do hereby commit myself to this church, to live according to the clear teaching of the Bible, and to the furtherance of God’s kingdom. As a pledge of that commitment I do sign this covenant, joining myself to the body of believers known as Faith Bible Church, and do promise to live according to its precepts so long as I do remain.
We will work and pray for the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
We will walk together in brotherly love, as becomes the members of a Christian church,
exercise an affectionate care and watchfulness over each other and faithfully admonish and
entreat one another as occasion may require.
We will not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, nor neglect to pray for ourselves
and others.
We will endeavor to bring up such as may at any time be under our care, in the nurture and
admonition of the Lord, and by a pure and loving example to seek the salvation of our family
and friends.
We will rejoice at each other’s happiness and endeavor with tenderness and sympathy to bear
each other’s burdens and sorrows.
We will seek, by divine aid, to live carefully in the world, denying ungodliness and worldly
lusts, remembering that we have been buried with Christ in baptism and raised to walk in the
newness of life.
We will work together for the continuance of a faithful evangelical ministry in this church, as
we sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline, and doctrines. We will contribute cheerfully
and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor,
and the spread of the gospel to all nations.
We will, when we move from this place, 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.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy
Spirit be with us all. Amen.
