Having been led by the Spirit of God to receive the Lord Jesus Christ 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, angels 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 its local and missionary programs; to zealously advance the cause of Christ in personal witness and testimony.

We also, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, engage to live our lives in such a way as to present a testimony to the love and wisdom and holiness of our Lord and His Word. Our speech will be always seasoned with grace, glorifying to the Lord. Our appearance will always reflect godliness and Christian modesty. Our countenance will always reflect the joy of our Lord. We engage to express our Christian liberties carefully, always mindful of the weaker brother and will avoid such things that would likely cause another to fall.

We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly love; to remember each other in prayer; to aid each other in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling, and courtesy in speech; to be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation, and mindful of our Savior, to secure it without delay.

And we moreover engage that when we remove from this place we will, as soon as possible, unite with some other church of like faith where we can continue to carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God’s Word.
