Because we have been born again into God’s family and made a part of the body of Christ, we recognize that what one of us does affects all of us, and we therefore make these promises to each other, based on the word of God and enabled by the Spirit of God.
John 1:12; Ephesians 2:19-22; 1 Corinthians 12:26; Romans 12:5; Philippians 2:13

Philippians 1:27; 1 Corinthians 4:2; Philippians 2:5; 2 Timothy 2:22; Psalm 69:6; Romans 14:21

We will devote ourselves to the study of God’s word and to unceasing prayer in our daily lives and in our gathered meetings.
Joshua 1:8; 1 Peter 2:2; Psalm 119:11; 2 Timothy 2:15; 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Psalm 55:17; Colossians 3:16

We will regularly meet together to worship and to encourage one another.

We will, by our words and actions, guard the unity of the body, caring for one another and honoring one another above ourselves.
