We, the members of
Immanuel Baptist Church, having accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior,
joyfully and solemnly enter into covenant with one another.
We promise to love one
another as Christ loved us: sustaining each other with Christ-like concern,
remembering each other in prayer, aiding each other in sickness and distress,
being slow to take offense and always ready for reconciliation.
We commit ourselves to the
work of Christ's Church: upholding the worship of God and the
ordinances of
baptism and the
Lord's Supper, seeking through example
and word to reveal Christ to others, contributing cheerfully to
the support of the church and its mission,
ministering to those whom Christ would serve, teaching the truths of Christ, striving for justice and
peace among the peoples of the world.
We consent to the discipline
of our faith, studying the Scriptures diligently, praying regularly, abstaining
from that which is contrary to Christ's teachings, acknowledging our time,
abilities and resources as trusts from God to be used according to God's will.
