We covenant with one another:

Because God has accepted me, I accept you, my brethren, into my life and into my care. I covenant to accept you as you are, and hope that we can grow together to be mature children of God.

Because I have experienced the forgiveness of God in my life, I covenant with you, as a brother in Christ, to forgive you, even when I feel the pain you may cause me.

Because I know God's help and support in my life, I covenant, my brethren, to support you to the best of my abilities, in times of your grief, stress, and sickness.

Because we are members of Christ's body, the church, I covenant with you to share life and service with you, with all of its joys and sorrows. I covenant to be concerned about you and your family. I promise to defend you as brethren from those who would deny you their love and respect. I covenant to be honest with you, even when it may be painful to us both.

I covenant to respond when you try to help me. I promise to trust that you act from a concern for me.

I covenant with you, that henceforth, I will commit my life to be your friend in Jesus Christ, the one who has touched us all and given our lives meaning.

To apply our faith in all aspects of our lives;

To strive for a more perfect society in keeping with the Spirit of God;

To be faithful stewards of our time, influence, abilities, and possessions; to use them wisely and fully;

To assemble ourselves together regularly for worship, study, witness, and fellowship;

To pray for one another and care for one another;

To encounter God daily through reading the Scriptures and prayer; and to be faithful to this fellowship of Christians.
