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 the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, we do now in the presence of God, angels, and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another as one body in Christ.

We engage, therefore, by the aide of the Holy Spirit, 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, 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 engage to maintain family and secret devotions; to religiously educate our children; to seek salvation of our kindred and acquaintances; to walk circumspectly in the world; to be just in our dealings, faithful in our engagements, and exemplary in our deportment; to avoid all tattling, backbiting, 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, where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant, and the principles of God’s Word.

We Believe

  1. We believe the whole Bible from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 as the verbally inspired and infallible Word of God using the King James Version of the Bible.
  2. We believe Jesus Christ was born of Mary the Virgin, and is the Son of God, and God the Son.
  3. We believe that Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture; the Just for the unjust that He might bring us to God.
  4. We believe that He arose from the grave the third day according to the Scriptures.
  5. We believe that He, only, is the Great High Priest, and we need not the intercession of any man, but that Christ ever lives to make intercession for us.
  6. We believe that Christ will come again in Person, bodily and visibly, to establish His Kingdom on the earth.
  7. We believe that in order to be saved, the soul must be born again–“Ye must be born again.” John 3:3
  8. We believe that every truly born again soul should declare his faith by the act of baptism (immersion in water) setting forth the Lord’s death, burial, and resurrection.
  9. We believe that Christ keeps those who are truly born again. (2 Timothy 1:12 & John 10:28 )
  10. We believe that all Christians are called unto a life of separation from worldly and sinful practices, and to a life of usefulness for Christ. (2 Corinthians 6:17 , 2 Peter 1:2-9)
  11. We believe that the church is a body of baptized believers whose only mission is not to “reform” the world but to preach and teach the Gospel of Salvation to the individual soul. The church is independent with Christ as it’s leader.
  12. We believe that at Christ’s coming in the air, the bodies of the dead in Christ shall be raised incorruptible and reunited with soul and spirit; the bodies of Christians who are alive shall be changed and glorified, and without dying, shall be caught up to be with the Lord (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; 2 Corinthians 15:51-53). The saved will then appear before the Judgment Seat Christ to be rewarded for their deeds (2 Corinthians 5:10 , 1 Corinthians 3:11 -15). After these things Christ will return bodily and visibly to the earth, with His saints, and shall rule the world in righteousness for a thousand years at the end of which the unsaved dead will be resurrected, and the judgment and condemnation shall take place. (Matthew 24:30,31; Revelation 19:11-16; 20:5,6,11,15)
