Member Covenant 

Having been brought by divine grace to repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ

and to surrender our lives to Him, and having been baptized as Christians in the

name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, we joyfully enter into

covenant with one another as one body in Christ.

We are committed to walk together in Christian love by the aid of the Holy Spirit.

Together, we will draw near to God in worship. We will delight in the glory of

God, depend on the presence of God, grow in the knowledge of God, and submit to

the Word of God as the all- sufficient authority in our lives and in His church.

We will seek, by Divine aid, to live carefully in the world, denying ungodliness

and worldly lusts, and remembering that, as a follower of Jesus Christ, there is on

us a special obligation now to lead a new and holy life.

We are committed to only saying what is helpful in building others up according to

their needs that it will benefit those who listen.

We will engage to maintain personal and family devotions; to faithfully educate

our children; to seek the salvation of our friends and acquaintances; to avoid all

things having the appearance of evil and to abstain from those practices that may

cause another person to stumble.

We will give cheerfully and generously to the support of the church, the relief of

the poor, and the spread of the gospel to all nations.

We will submit to the Elders of King’s Cross Church who have been entrusted by

God to serve and care for this body by teaching the Word of Christ to us and

modeling the character of Christ before us, and we will affirm deacons as leading

servants in the church.

If God should lead me away from King’s Cross Church I will, as soon as possible,

unite with some other church where I can carry out the spirit of this covenant and

the principles of God’s Word.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of

the Holy Spirit be with us all.

Amen.
