Having been led as we believe by the Spirit of God to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and, on the profession of our faith, having been baptized in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we do now in the presence of God and this assembly most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another as one body in Christ.
          We engage, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit to honor the Word of God as our chief authority for faith and practice, to walk together in Christian love; to strive for the advancement of this church in knowledge, holiness, and comfort; to promote its prosperity and spirituality; to sustain its worship, ordinances, doctrines, and discipline; to contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the gospel through all nations.
          We also engage to maintain family and personal worship; to biblically educate our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord; to seek the salvation of our family, friends, and acquaintances; to walk circumspectly in the world; to be just in our dealings, faithful in our engagements, and exemplary in our behavior; to avoid such conduct as gossip, unkind words, and excessive anger; to seek God's help in abstaining from all practices which bring unwarranted harm to our bodies, our faith, or another's walk with the Lord, and to be zealous in our efforts to advance the kingdom of our Savior.
          We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly love,  to remember one another in prayer; to aid one another in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and Christian courtesy in speech; to be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation and mindful of the rules of our Savior to secure it without delay.
          We moreover engage that when we remove from this place we will as soon as possible unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God’s Word.
