ABOUT US
We are an Independent Baptist Church that teaches from the KJV Bible.
Church Covenant
Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of
God to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour; 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 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 expense 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 devotion; to religiously
educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintance
; to walk circumspectly in the world; to be just in our dealings,
faithful in our own engagements, and exemplary in our deportment;
to avoid all tattling, backbiting and excessive anger; to abstain
from the sale of, and use of, intoxicating drinks as a beverage;
to be zealous in our efforts to advance the kingdom of our Saviour.
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 Saviour 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.
