In doing so, with God’s help, I commit myself to God and to the other members to the following:”

RESPECT one another, by treating each other with honor and dignity as I would wish to be treated


2.RESPONSIBILITY (“What I’m Committing To”)

“ And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (Heb. 10:24-25)

PRAY for my church’s ministry, the pastoral staff, and the leadership

ATTEND my church faithfully and INVITE non-believers on a regular basis

GIVE of my financial resources with the tithe (10%) as a Biblical guideline for regular giving

EXPRESS God’s love in practical ways to those around me


4.LIFESTYLE (“How I’m Going to Live”)

DRAW NEAR to God by regular practice of Scripture reading and study, prayer, and other spiritual disciplines

SUBMIT to the Holy Spirit’s leading in my life

LIVE a Godly lifestyle by being an example of Jesus’ love and character

AVOID anything that causes others to stumble into sin
