We will engage to walk together in Christian love through the power of the Holy Spirit. (love each other)

We submit to Scripture as our final authority, and reject all heretical beliefs and practices. (submit to Scripture)

Unless providentially hindered, we will not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, but will faithfully attend the church's gatherings for worship, prayer, study, and fellowship, and will use our spiritual gifts for the common good. (meet together)

We resolve to practice personal and family worship, to train our children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (worship together and alone), and intentionally engage relationships based on the Gospel to seek salvation for our family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, acquaintances, and of all the world. (form Gospel-centered relationships)

We pledge to faithfully participate in the ordinances of the church, and endeavor to attain unity of mind in doctrine. (remain united)  We will 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. (watch over one another)

We will contribute cheerfully and regularly to this church for its ministry and expenses, the relief of the poor, the cause of reformation and revival, and the spread of the Gospel throughout all nations. (give cheerfully)

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 holy lives and to be salt and light. (die to self)

We will be just and honest in our dealings and faithful in our responsibilities and commitments. (be trustworthy)

We will abide by the standards of sexual purity, ethical integrity, and spiritual fidelity as taught in Scripture. (walk in holiness)

We will remember one another in prayer, watch over one another in brotherly love, help one another in sickness and distress, and cultivate Christian compassion and courtesy. (pray faithfully)

Believing that the pursuit of peace with others and personal holiness accompany true faith in Christ, we will be slow to take offense, always eager to seek the reconciliation Christ commands, and will work to preserve the unity of the Spirit. (gracefully embrace one another)

We promise that if, in the providence of God, we leave this church we will do so in peace and we will diligently seek to unite with another Christian church where we can continue to carry out the spirit and principles of Scripture. (continue in Christ no matter where we go)

Statement of Faith

We believe in Jesus Christ, who was crucified, died, was buried, and rose again three days later from the grave.  We are a new creation in Christ saved by His blood and not by our works.  In faith, we believe baptism is a demonstration of one's personal commitment to our Lord Jesus Christ as a disciple of His.  We were dead in our sins and are now made alive in Christ.
