Affirmation of Faith
We Believe that God is the Father Almighty and that He is maker of Heaven and earth as the scriptures have said. We believe in Jesus, that He is the Christ and is the only begotten Son of the Father. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He was conceive by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. On the third day, He rose from the dead and declared victory over the grave, death, and hell. He has gone back to the Father to prepare a place for us in His kingdom. He will come back as He promised to judge the world and to deliver the righteous. We believe in the Holy Ghost, the Christian Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and eternal life for all true believers who persevere in holiness to the end.

Having given ourselves through Jesus Christ, and adopted the preceding articles as our confession of faith, we now give ourselves to each other by the will of God, and agree to the following Church Covenant:
- We solemnly agree before God, that we will strive, by His assisting grace, to exemplify our profession by a corresponding practice. We solemnly agree, as members of the church and as Christians to watch over each other in love for mutual upbuilding in Gospel faith, endeavoring to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace, to be careful of each other’s reputation, to confess our faults one to another, to strengthen the feeble and kindly admonish the erring, and to labor together for the building up of the church and the denomination, and the salvation of sinners.
- We promise that we will faithfully and constantly maintain secret and family prayer, and religiously instruct those under our care.
- We solemnly agree to use our influence to sustain the regular public worship of God, contributing according to our ability and circumstances for the support of our ministry and other church expenses among us; that we will be benevolent to the needy, especially to the poor of our own church.
- We promise that, so far as we shall be able, we will attend public worship, the social meeting to the church, and report ourselves regularly at the quarterly conferences, and that we will walk in all the ordinances of the Lord’s house.
- We solemnly agree that we will abstain from all vain amusements and sinful conformity of the world; that we will not traffic in, use, nor furnish to others, intoxicating drinks as a beverage, and that we will sustain the benevolent enterprises of our denomination and the church, as missions education, Sabbath schools, moral reforms, and all others which tend to the glory of God and the welfare of man.
And may the God of peace sanctify us holy, and preserve us blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, that we may join the glorified around the throne of God in ascribing blessings, honor, power and glory to Him that sitteth on the throne and unto the precious Lamb.
Forever Amen.
