Church Covenant

 

 

Having committed ourselves to Jesus Christ and having experienced the acceptance, forgiveness, and redemption of God our Father, and having been led by the Holy Spirit to this part of the Body of Christ, we covenant together as members of Shalom Baptist Church that with God's help through the guiding presence of the Holy Spirit:

Our Covenant With God

We will love God with all our heart, soul, mind, body and strength and trust in His promises and obey His commands.

(Deut. 6:5; Deut. 10:12-13; Matt. 22:37)

We will uphold the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, as the inspired Word of God and as the foundation of our faith and actions.

(2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21)

We will be faithful stewards of our resources and abilities in sharing the gospel with people of all nations.

(Rom. 12:1-2; Deut. 16:17; 2 Cor. 9:6-7; 1 Cor. 16:1-2; Mal. 3:10)

Our Covenant with One Another

We will rejoice with each other in times of joy and sacrificially aid one another in sickness and distress.

(Phil. 4:4; John 13: 34-35; John 15:13, Gal. 6:2)

We will be honest and trusting with each other. (Col. 3:9-10; Eph. 4:15)

We will be forgiving and quick to reconcile our differences.

(Col. 3:13; Eph. 4:31-32)

We will seek, by Christian example and personal effort, to win others to Christ and to encourage their growth toward Christian discipleship.

(Acts 1:8; Matt. 28:19-20; 2 Cor. 5:18-20; John 20:21)

We will be faithful in our ministry of worship, witness, education, fellowship and service.

(Luke 4:16; Acts 2:42, 46-47; Heb. 10:24-25, Eph. 4:11- 13)
