Wood River Baptist Church Covenant
Having as we trust, been brought by Divine Grace seriously and forever to give
up ourselves in faith and love and holy obedience to God the Father, Son and
Holy Ghost, and having been baptized upon profession of our faith, we do now
solemnly and joyfully covenant with each other to walk together in church
relationship with brotherly love to the Honor and Glory of God.
And we do in His strength engage that we will exercise a Christian care
and watchfulness over each other, and faithfully admonish and entreat one
another, and require; that we will not forsake the assembling of ourselves
together or neglect the great duty of prayer for ourselves and others: that we
will endeavor to bring up such as may at anytime be under our care, in the
nurture and admonition of the Lord, and by a pure and lovely example to win our
kindred and acquaintances to the Savior, to holiness and to eternal life; that
we will participate in each other’s joys and endeavor with tenderness and
sympathy to bear each other’s burdens and sorrows; that we will seek divine aid
to enable us to live carefully and watchfully in the world, deny ungodliness and
worldly lusts, and remembering that as we have been voluntarily been buried by
Baptism and raised up from the emblematic grave, so there is on us a special
obligation henceforth to lead a new and holy life; that we will strive together
for the support of a faithful evangelical ministry among us; and that through
life amidst evil and good report, we will seek to live to the glory of Him who
hath called us out of darkness and into His marvelous light.
