Our Church Covenant

Having been led, as we believe, by the Holy Spirit of God to receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and having been baptized by immersion in accordance with Christ’s command, we do now in the presence of God and our fellow members solemnly enter into covenant with one another as one body in Christ.

It is my earnest desire and intent that with His help, I will express and exemplify my new life in Christ in my every relationship. I will cultivate and deepen my fellowship with God by daily prayer, Bible reading, and meditation. I will seek to love God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength; to maintain an attitude of openness to the presence, guidance, and power of His Spirit; and to treat my body with the honor, respect, and purity due His temple.

I will do all within my power to make my home truly Christian. To this end, I will maintain regular family worship, and seek to exemplify the Spirit of Jesus in my relationships with all members of my family.

I accept the responsibility for this church’s upbuilding, and to this end I commit myself to wholeheartedly support this church in its local and world-wide ministry with my time, abilities, and possessions. I will strive for the unity of the church, praying for, helping, forgiving, and being considerate toward my fellow members in Christian love.

I am determined that my love and obedience to Jesus be exemplified in my every relationship in the world. I will seek first His Kingdom, and will strive to avoid being ensnared by the standards and values of the world. I accept as a privilege the task of introducing others to Him, and will refrain from anything that would mar the witness of my life and lips.

Realizing my own inadequacy, I will earnestly seek the help of the Holy Spirit and the fellowship of the church in the accomplishment of these purposes, to the glory of God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.

Recent Sermons

  • Christ Loved His Enemies Though We Hate, And Turned From God Like Reprobate; In This Is Love He’d Demonstrate, The Wrath Of God In Fullest Weight; Would Fall On Christ To Devastate. He Died For Sinners Rose Up Great, To Change Our Hearts And Kill Our Hate, By Faith Alone New Life Create, And In His Love We Satiate. Now Love Like Him Who’d Liberate, Our Perfect Father Imitate, Who Loves The Good And Bad Who Hate!

    February 14, 2021
  • Christ Gave Us More Than Tooth And Eye; God’s Perfect Justice Magnify. We Take And Take “For Me!” We Cry, But He Gave All For Sinners Die, And Bore God’s Wrath Forsaken Why; So It Is Finished Risen High. Now Death Shall No More Terrify, By Faith Alone He’ll Justify. Our Heart’s He’ll Change And Purify; All Selfishness We’ll Crucify, To Give And Give And Glorify. Our God Alone Will Satisfy!
    Joseph Randall, February 7, 2021
  • Jesus Spoke What’s Good And True. He Is The Truth; The God-Man Jew, Who Lived And Spoke Like No One Knew; And Our God Swore To Send Him To, Bear God’s Wrath For Me And You. He Died To Hell And Sin Undue, But Now He’s Risen; Death Is Through. By Faith Alone We’re All Made New; Reflecting God In All We Do. We Tell The Truth And Lies Subdue; In All His Glory We Pursue!

  • Christ Will Never Divorce His Bride. He Loved And Served And For Her Died, Then Rose Ensuring She’d Abide, In Him Forever By His Side; So When We Marry He’s Our Guide, By Faith Alone We’re Justified, And Selfish Pride Is Mortified, So Husbands Never Leave Your Bride; And Wives Be Faithful Don’t Divide. In This The Christ Is Glorified, His Name Be Praised By All Worldwide!
