Mountain Grace Proclamation

​

Having been lead, as we believe by the Spirit of God,

to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior, and on the profession of our faith,

having been baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

we do now,

in the presence of God and this assembly most solemnly and joyfully

enter into covenant with one another as one body in Christ.

It is our desire to carry out the mission of this local church to be

"Determined to know Christ and make Him known"

Therefore, we determine, by the aid of the Holy Spirit,

to walk together in Christian love, to strive for the advancement of this Church

in knowledge, personal and corporate holiness;

to promote prosperity and spirituality;

to sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline, and doctrines;

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 throughout all nations.

We also will strive to maintain family and private devotions;

to biblically educate our children;

to seek the salvation of our family, friends and neighbors;

to walk in wisdom; to be just in our dealings, faithful in our relationships with others,

and exemplary in our behavior;

to avoid all slander, quarreling, jealousy and excessive anger,

to gain and use our influence to combat sin.

To be zealous in our efforts to advance the Kingdom of our Savior. 

We further covenant to watch over one another in brotherly love;

to remember one another in prayer, to aid one another in sickness and distress,

to cultivate Christian sympathy and Christian courtesy;

to be slow to take offense but always be ready for reconciliation.
