1. We will not neglect to gather regularly for corporate worship, or to pray for ourselves and others (Hebrews 10:25; Colossians 4:2).

  2. We will rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep, bearing each other’s burdens with tenderness and compassion (Romans 12:15).

  3. We will be devoted to one another in brotherly love; to watch over, pray for, patiently bear with, forgive, encourage, and admonish one another with love, humility and gentleness (Romans 12:10; Luke 17:3; Colossians 3:13; 1 Thessalonians 5:11; 1 Peter 1:22).

  4. We will serve others with the spiritual gifts that God has blessed us with, for the edification of the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:15-16; Romans 12:3-8).

  5. We will endeavour to raise the children and youth under our care in the training and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4).

  6. We will seek the salvation of our family and friends by sharing Christ with them, and seek the welfare of the city by living lives that are consistent with the Gospel (Acts 13:47; 1 Peter 2:12; Colossians 3:17).

  7. We will strive to pursue personal holiness in our lives and grow in Christ-likeness with the help of the Holy Spirit, by submitting to the authority of Scripture (Titus 2:12; 1 Peter 1:14).

  8. We will contribute cheerfully, generously and regularly to the church in order to support the ministry of the Word, the relief of the poor within our midst, and the spread of the Gospel to all nations (Matthew 28:19; Luke 12:33; 2 Corinthians 9:7).

  9. We will work together in unity to make Spirit-filled disciples through biblically faithful ministries within the church—ministries which sustain the church’s worship, ordinances, discipline, and doctrines (Ephesians 4:3; 2 Timothy 4:2; 1 Timothy 3:1-13; 1 Timothy 3:15; Acts 2:38; 1 Corinthians 11:26; Matthew 18:17; 1 Corinthians 5:13).

  10. When moving from this church, we will endeavor to join another Gospel-preaching 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.
