PURPOSE

Jesus Christ has commissioned His church to go into all the world and preach, teach, baptize and make disciples; Matt 28: 19-20, and Mark 16:15-16. It is imperative that we' as a local church, accept this commission as our primary focus and see to it that the functions of our auxiliaries and church groups are relevant to the carrying out of the commission. We consider the following activities to be the major functions of the church that we will involve ourselves in while striving to be willing and obedient to Christ's command.

Our goals:

1. To exalt our Lord and Savior through regular WORSHIP

2. To win new souls to Christ through OUTREACH MINISTRIES

3. To produce worthy DISCIPLES through teaching and training programs

4. To engage in FELLOWSHIP among the saints

5. To assure that all things are done decently and in order by having sound ADMINISTRATION

6. To show concern for all people through COMMUNITY INTERACTION

7. To practice good STEWARDSHIP of eternal and maternal resources

CHURCH COVENANT

Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our 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 his 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 walk together in Christian love; to strive for the advancement of this Church in knowledge, holiness, and comfort; to promise its prosperity and spirituality; to sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline, and doctrines, 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 encourage to maintain family and secret devotions; to teach our children the Christian truths; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances, to walk circumspectly in the world; to be just in our dealings; faithful in our engagements; exemplary in our deportment; to avoid all tattling; backbiting and excessive anger; to abstain from the abuse of drugs and the sale and use of intoxicating drinks as a beverage; 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 each other in prayer; to aid each other in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and 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 (preferably of like faith) where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and principles of God's Word.
