Church Covenant
By
the grace of God we have been led to repent of our sin and believe in
Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. We have confessed our faith and
been baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Now, therefore, in the presence of God and by His grace, we joyfully
and solemnly enter into a covenant with the members of Providence
Community Church.
- We commit to walk together in Christian
love through the power of the Holy Spirit and to strive for the unity
of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
- We purpose to watch over one
another in brotherly love, to remember one another in prayer, to help
one another in sickness and distress, and to cultivate Christian
compassion and courtesy.
- We commit to sustain the church's worship, discipline, doctrine, and ordinances which are baptism and the Lord's Supper.
- We will reject all heretical beliefs and practices, using Scripture as our final authority.
- We will strive by God's grace and
power to live as Christ in the world; and denying ungodliness and
worldly lusts we will seek to fulfill our calling to lead a holy life
and to be salt and light.
- We will both submit to the
church's discipline upon ourselves and lovingly assume our
responsibility to participate in the discipline of other members, as
taught in Scripture.
- We resolve to practice personal
and family worship, to raise our children in the training and
admonition of the Lord, and to seek the salvation of our family,
friends, and neighbors, and of all the world.
- We will contribute cheerfully and
regularly to this church for its general ministry and expenses, the
relief of the poor, the cause of reformation and revival, and the
spread of the Gospel throughout all nations.
- We commit to seek and spread a
passion for the supremacy of God in all things by the power of the Holy
Spirit for the glory of Jesus Christ.
