Every Person, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, or background, can be saved through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross, which made full atonement for our sins.
Every Person is obligated to repent for their own sins, and freely accept the free gift of salvation through the open and public confession of their faith in Christ while believing this truth in their heart.
Every Person must strive to live out the teachings of our faith, understanding that sanctification is a progressive work.
Having been led, as we believe, 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 the Son, and the Holy Ghost, we do now and 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; strive for the advancement of this church, in knowledge, Holiness and comfort; to promote is prosperity and spirituality; to sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline and doctrines; to contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the Gospel through all nations.
We also engaged to maintain family and secret devotions; to religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and our acquaintances; to walk circumspectly in the world; to be just in our dealings, faithful and our engagements and exemplary in our deportment; to avoid all tattling, backbiting and excessive anger; to abstain from the sale and use of intoxicated drinks as a beverage, and to be zealous in our efforts to advance the cause of our savior.
We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly love; to remember to reach each other in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy and feeling and courtesy in speech; to be slow to take offense 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 on the spirit of this Covenant and the principles of God's word.
