Faith Baptist (Covington, Va)
Covenant
 
As a bond of  unity among us Faith Baptist Church accepts for its members
the following covenant.

Having been led by the Holy Spirit to  receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior and
on profession of our faith in  Him, having been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son,  and of
the Holy Spirit, we do most  solemnly and Joyfully enter into covenant  with one another as one body in  Christ.

We  promise that we will watch over  and counsel one another in the spirit of
brotherly love, that we will remember  one another in our prayers, and that we
will aid each other in sickness  and distress. .

We  further agree, by the aid of the  Holy Spirit, to walk together in Christian
love; to strive for the advancement  of this church in knowledge, holiness, and
comfort; to promote its  prosperity and spirituality; to sustain its
worship, ordinances, discipline, and  doctrines; to give it a sacred
pre-eminence over all institutions of  human origin: and to
contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the  ministry, the
expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and the  spread of
the Gospel through all nations.

We  further covenant to maintain  family and private devotion; to religiously
educate our children; to see  salvation of our kindred and acquaintances; to
live carefully in the  present world: to be just in our dealings,
faithful in our engagements, and  exemplary in our deportment; to avoid all
tattling, backbiting, and  excessive anger; to abstain from
everything that will cause our brother to  stumble or that will bring reproach
upon the cause of Christ; and to  strive to grow in the grace and
knowledge of our Lord and Savior, that amidst  evil and good report we will
humbly and earnestly seek to live to the honor and glory of Him who
loved us and gave Himself for us.

We  moreover engage that when we  remove from this place we will, as soon as
possible, unite with some other  church where we can carry out the spirit
of this covenant and the  principles of God's Word.
