This is the covenant that we ask each of our members to hold to as a standard for the vision that God has called us to.
- Do you acknowledge that you are a sinner, justly deserving eternal separation from God, and without the ability to save yourself and do you believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and trust Him alone as your Savior and Lord?
- Do you commit, in humble reliance on the grace of the Holy Spirit, to pursue a deepening intimacy with God?
- Do you commit to meet together regularly to worship God, to study Scripture, to pray and care for one another and protect the reputation of each other by refraining from gossip and slander, being gracious, gentle and kind toward one another, and forgiving one another as God in Christ forgave you?
- Do you commit to actively serve in the life of this local church by using your God-given spiritual gifts and talents?
- Do you commit to share the good news of Jesus Christ with others in Columbia and beyond through your encouragemen, prayers, finances, and personal involvement?
- Do you submit to the leadership and discipline of this local church and do you promise to support the beliefs, vision, and values of this church?
