Statement of Christian Responsibility

Having been led, as we believe, by the Holy Spirit of God to receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and having been baptized in accordance with Christ's command, we do now, in the presence of God and our fellow members, solemnly enter into covenant with one another as one Body in Christ.

To engage ourselves regularly in prayer, worship, and the study of the Scriptures so that we may grow in the image of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

To remember our redemption in Christ; to pray for one another and serve one another in Christian love; to forgive, even as we have been forgiven of God; and to seek reconciliation, according to Christ's command.

To serve this church with our time, talents, possessions, and finances, mindful that we have been summoned to be doers of the Word and not hearers only.

To establish a proper example before our families at all times; to endeavor to educate our children in the principles and the duties of our faith, and to endeavor to maintain family and private devotions.

To walk uprightly before the world with dignity, courage, and integrity so that the light of God may shine through our lives before all people and encourage them to seek Him who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life; therefore, we shall not, with intent or deliberation, indulge in those things which might contribute to the moral or physical deterioration of ourselves, our fellowship, or our community.

Believing in a loving, Sovereign God, and believing in the Deity of our Savior, His miraculous birth, His peerless life, His atoning death, His powerful resurrection, His promised return to consummate history, and our essential oneness with others of like faith, we shall seek to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength and to love our neighbor as ourselves. May God help us in these resolutions.
