Our Covenant
Our covenant describes our commitment to how we choose to
live a "Christ-like" life. This is a voluntary pledge for each
member to make.
I have been led by God to join the fellowship of New
Journey Church.
I will protect the unity of the church. I will build up and
encourage others and seek to minister to their
needs. I will take care to avoid gossip and any talk
that harms another. I will respect the spiritual leaders
of the church, following them as they are led by God.
I will share in the responsibility for the church. I will
pray for the members, leaders and the work of the
church. I will invite those who are not active in church
to participate in our fellowship. I will share my faith
with those who do not know Jesus Christ in order
that they may invite Him to be their personal Savior.
I will serve in the ministries of the church. I will seek
to discover the spiritual gifts and talents given to me
by God in order that I might use them for His glory
and the benefit of the church. I will learn, train,
prepare and grow in my abilities in order to please
God more. I will always keep in mind the example of
Jesus that I am here not to be served but rather to
serve others.
I will support the testimony of the church. I will attend
faithfully, supporting the worship, study, fellowship
and ministries of the church. I will live a godly life so
that others might see Jesus through me. I will give
regularly to finance the work and ministry of the
church as the scripture teaches.
I offer this covenant as my promise to God
and the others in the fellowship and I receive its promises from
others as a bond of Christian love.
