Having been brought, by God's grace, to repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and having been baptized upon our profession of faith, in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, we now solemnly and joyfully renew our covenant with each other, that God enabling us:

We will walk together in love as brothers and sisters, a family whom God has saved by grace.

(John 13:34–35; Rom. 12:10; 1 Pet. 3:8)

We will work and pray for the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, bearing patiently with each other and freely forgiving as we have been forgiven in Christ.

(Eph. 4:1–3; Matt. 18:21–35; Eph. 4:32)

We will confess our sins to each other, resisting the temptation to hide in darkness, that we might experience the grace of God through the care of his saints.

(John 3:19–21; Rom. 15:7; 1 John 1:6–10; James 5:16)

We will assemble together regularly, gathering with the whole church for worship and fellowship, because no one can faithfully follow Jesus alone.

(Heb. 10:24–25; 1 Cor. 12:12–27; Prov. 18:1)

We will pray for each other and for the whole church, and will pursue each other's good as we encourage frequently, admonish gently, and receive correction humbly.

(Col. 4:2; James 5:16; Rom. 12:10; Heb. 3:13; Gal. 6:1; Eph. 4:15, 29–31)

We will declare the gospel boldly, proclaiming Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit, leaving the results to God.

(Matt. 28:19; Mark 1:17; 2 Cor. 5:18–20; Eph 6:20; 1 Pet. 2:9; 3:15)

We will strive, as the family of Christ, to bring up the children under our care in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

(Deut. 6:4–7; Eph. 6:4)

We will rejoice at each other's happiness and endeavor, with tenderness and sympathy, to bear each other's burdens and sorrows.

(Rom. 12:15; Gal. 6:2; 1 Pet. 3:8)

We will work together to uphold this church's faithful gospel witness, as we sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline, and doctrines.

(Matt. 18:15-20; 1 Cor. 5; 2 Cor. 2:5–11; Acts 2:42)

We will contribute cheerfully and regularly to the ministry of the church, to the needs of our neighbors, and to the spread of the gospel to the ends of the earth.

( Cor. 16:1–2; 2 Cor. 9:6–7; Rom. 12:13; 1 John 3:17–18; Matt. 28:18–20)

If we leave this congregation, we will join another gospel-preaching church, as soon as possible, where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God's Word.

(Heb. 10:24–25; 13:17)

And through life, whatever opposition may come, we will live for the glory of him who has called us out of darkness into his marvelous light.

(Matt. 5:11–12; James 1:2; 1 Pet. 2:9)
