We are banded together as a Christian Church to maintain the worship of God; to proclaim the gospel of Christ; to develop in all people a consciousness of their relations and duties to God and to each other; and to inspire them with love for truth, passion for righteousness, and enthusiasm for service. To this end, we pledge our loyalty to Christ and covenant with each other to strive to express His spirit in our individual and corporate lives; to live together as Christians; to submit ourselves to the government of this church, working, giving, praying for its increase, its purity, its peace; and to seek in every way to make it a power for the building of the Kingdom of God.
