EBC Church Covenant

Picture
Having  Been Led, As we believe, by the Spirit of God  to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour,  and on the profession of our faith, having been Baptized in the  name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the  Holy Ghost,  we do now in the presence of  God, angels, and this assembly most solemnly 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 doctrine; to contribute cheerfully and regularly to the ministry,  the expense 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 devotion; 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:  And to avoid all tattling, backbiting, and excessive anger, and to be zealous in our  efforts to advance the Kingdom of our Savior.

We Further Engage to watch  over one another in prayer; to aid each other in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and  speech; To be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation to seek 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.
