We, the members, covenant to contribute at least four things to this assembly:
- Our loyalty to the major services of the church so that we might "consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much more as you see the Day approaching" (Hebrews 10: 24-25);
- Our willingness to use our spiritual gift(s) "for the work of the ministry" in and through this body of believers (Ephesians 4:12; Romans 12:3-8; 1 Peter 4:10);
- Our positive and encouraging support of the church family and leaders as we seek to obey our Lord's command to "make disciples" (Matthew 28:18-20; 1 Thessalonians 5:11-15; Hebrews 13:7, 17); and
- Our financial gifts, on a proportianate basis to God's blessings in our lives (1 Corinthians 16:2; 2 Corinthians 8:1-15, 9:1-8).
