THE FIRST CHURCH COVENANT

(This Covenant is a Spiritual contract between God and the members of this church in which God makes sure promises in exchange for certain behavior.)

We freely pledge together, in the Lord s name, United in love for one another, to strive to carry out His will as revealed to us in the Holy Scriptures. As God made a covenant with His people, we believe that by owning this covenant, we become part of God’s gathered people. We welcome all to worship with us and respect their diversity and freedom of conscience. We hold this to be the mission of First Church: walking together in Christian love and fellowship by following the Gospel, worshipping God, and working for the progress of knowledge, justice, peace, and equality through God’s will and the Holy Spirit. We work and pray for the transformation of the world into the Kingdom of God, and we look with faith for the triumph of righteousness and life everlasting.
