In this final message of our Explore Membership series, Pastor Michael explains three foundational convictions that shaped the writing of our church constitution:

Explore Membership: Week 3

In this message, Pastor Michael walks through our Church Covenant which says:

We have been brought by God’s grace to repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. We have given ourselves to him and affirmed one another as citizens of his kingdom through baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Relying on his gracious aid, we do now solemnly and joyfully affirm our church covenant with each other.

We will worship and enjoy God as our supreme treasure by loving him and living for his glory in all that we do. We will pursue God through the regular practice of spiritual disciplines and live holy lives in this world, denying ungodliness, and seeking to reflect the holy character of our Lord.

We will walk together in love as members of Christ’s body, caring for each other, watching over each other, and encouraging and admonishing one another as occasion requires. We will not forsake the church’s gatherings and we will faithfully pray for one another. We will rejoice at each others’ happiness and bear each others’ burdens and sorrows. We will work and pray for the unity of the Spirit and the bond of peace.

We will work together to maintain a faithful gospel witness in our worship, ordinances, discipline, and doctrines. We will contribute cheerfully to the expenses of the church, the needs of our neighbors, and the spread of the gospel around the world. We will endeavor to lead those in our care in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and seek the salvation of our family and friends. We will seek to advance the gospel both to our neighborhoods and the nations through evangelism and missions.

If we leave this congregation, we will join another gospel-preaching church as soon as possible where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God’s Word. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all. Amen.
