First Baptist Church Membership Covenant
Having received Christ as my Lord and Savior and been baptized, and being in agreement with First Baptist Church's statements, strategy, and structure, I now feel led by the Holy Spirit to unite with the First Baptist Church family. In doing so, I commit myself to God and to the other members to do the following:
- I will protect the unity of my church
- By acting in love toward other members
- By following the leaders
- By refusing to gossip
- I will share the responsibility of my church
- By praying for its growth
- By inviting the unchurched to attend
- By warmly welcoming those who visit
- I will serve the ministry of my church
- By discovering my gifts and talents
- By developing my gifts and talents (being equipped)
- By developing a servant's heart
- I will support the testimony of my church
- By attending faithfully
- By living a godly life
- By giving to the church regularly
