The church covenant is a set of promises that define what membership in our congregation means. By agreeing to abide by this covenant, we enter into a network of mutual obligation and privilege. By keeping these promises, we become family to one another.
Our church covenant consists of a preamble and seven promises. The preamble sets forth the essential preconditions for membership, and the promises define what it means to be a member.
A public copy of the church covenant hangs in the vestibule. When an individual chooses to join our congregation, that person is asked to sign the public copy of the covenant. This usually takes place at the end of a worship service.
