The Covenant of First Baptist Church - Dawson, GA

Since we have received the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior and have been baptized, we now before God and His church covenant to:

Walk together in Christian love,
Worship and pray together,
Faithfully attend worship services,
Be willing to help in all church work,
Give cheerfully our tithes and offerings for the work of the church and the spread of the Gospel,
Help those in need in our church and in our community,
Have family devotions,
Teach our children about Jesus Christ,
Witness to members of our family, friends, and to strangers,
Be honest and faithful in all our dealings,
Keep from all types of immorality in our thoughts, our speech, and our actions,
Speak only that which is true and helpful,
Be slow in anger and quick to forgive,
Be ready to serve in another Christian church after leaving this one.

Oh God, help us by Your Holy Spirit’s power to keep these covenant promises. Amen.

Thanks man. I'm pleased with it and I think the church is as well. We're looking for good things to come from it.

Re: Our Church's New Covenant

I like your covenant. You were born with just a couple genes shy of being a good Presbyterian. They like and operate with covenants. I am happy for all of you and hope the common "words" of agreement make for a more unified and peace loving group. It is certain that if folks having nothing to live up to they will not
disappoint.
