Church Covenant
Concord Missionary             
    Baptist Church


Having been led, as we believe by Spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus as our Savior 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, we do now, in
the presence of God and this Assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into Covenant with one another as one body
in Christ.
We engage, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit to walk together in Christian love; to strive for the advancement
of this Church in knowledge, holiness, and Comfort; to promote its prosperity and spirituality; to sustain its worship,
ordinances, discipline, and doctrines; to 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 through all nations.
We also engage to maintain family and secret devotions; to religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of
our kindred and acquaintances; to walk circumspectly in the world; to be just in our dealings, faithful in our
engagements, and exemplary in our deportment to avoid all tattling, backbiting, and excessive anger; to abstain from
the sale of, and use of, intoxicating drink as a beverage; to be zealous in our efforts to advance the Kingdom of our
Saviour.
We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly love; to remember one another in prayer; to aid one another
in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and Christian courtesy in speech, to be slow to take
offence, but always ready for reconciliation and mindful of the rules of our Savior to secure it without delay.
We moreover engage that when we remove from this place we will, 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.
