First Baptist Church Covenant

Because we have responded to Christ's call to follow him as disciples and because we find this calling too difficult and too important to fulfill alone, we covenant together to support and to pray for one another without ceasing;
to be candid in our speech, kind in our attitudes, and caring in all our dealings with one another;
to seek the mind and vision of Christ for ourselves and our life together, mindful that our unity does not require uniformity.

Moreover, we covenant
to give first priority to our times of public worship and learning;
to sustain our common mission by proportionate giving, faithful service and personal witness;
to live our lives in a manner worthy of the gospel we profess and of this family of faith; and to seek each other's forgiveness and God's when we fail to honor this covenant, trusting God's Spirit to renew us in stronger faith, brighter hope and broader love.
