Membership Covenant

Presented on this 25th Anniversary Celebration

 

Having been led by the Holy Spirit to receive and profess Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and having followed in baptism, we do covenant together as one body in Christ. 

 

We promise to love one another, to be sensitive to one another’s needs, to meet these needs through prayer and Christian action always respecting one another as persons.  We will be slow to take offense, but always ready for immediate reconciliation.

 

We will support and advance the work of God’s kingdom through His church by being faithful stewards of our time, talent, and material possessions.

 

We will endeavor to become informed and mature Christians with the Scriptures for our guide, always seeking God’s will for our lives as individuals and as church.  We will worship individually and together regularly.  Recognizing we are the temple of God, we will keep our mind and bodies free from anything that might harm or weaken our witness for Christ.

 

We will endeavor to tell the story of God’s love both by what we say and who we are, always remembering to reach out from our fellowship to those around us, as well as those abroad. 

 

We will annually review and affirm our commitments to one another through this covenant and should we move from this place we will, as soon as possible, unite with another church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God’s Word.

Simple suggestions for A Successful Church Business Meeting by J. Alan Branch - April 22, 2019

As a Baptist, I am committed to congregational church government. Unfortunately, some churches practice an unhealthy form of church government which does more harm than good. In these cases, acrimonious business meetings are usually a clear sign of a church that has an unhealthy inward focus and is in decline, and such hostile meetings are counterproductive to fulfilling the Great Commission. Thom Rainer comments on this problem: “Church business meetings become arguments over preferences and desires.”[1] While business meetings can be a great cause for anxiety, they need not be. Here are some ideas for avoiding acrimonious business meetings in a local church: 1. Don’t have monthly business meetings. Quarterly business meetings are more than sufficient to address a church’s needs. When business meetings are held too frequently, committed members become weary of another request by the church for their time and they often stop attending. Unfortunately, highly motivated and divisive peopl

How To Conduct A Business Meeting by Pastoral Care Inc.

The success of a business meeting is determined by how prepared one is for the meeting.  Most pastors and organizations desire to have a smooth transition between items discussed or voted on.  Having Robert’s Rules of Order is nice to have on hand but it is not necessary to conduct a successful business meeting.   Listed below is an outline that most churches and organizations use for their business meetings.  It is a simple outline that can be used with any type of meeting, big or small.  It is good to also prepare an agenda outline for all members. A sample is provided at the end of this article. Suggested Outline: MEETING CALLED TO ORDER.  The chair will call the meeting to order, which means that the meeting is officially starting.  The secretary calls roll to establish a quorum (50% + 1) to establish that one has a majority of its members attending this meeting to conduct business, changes, or elections on behalf of the church or organization.  Once the roll has been called the se
