Church Covenant

Our church covenant expresses the promise to live together as a church that our members make before the Lord and to one another. It summarizes our understanding of biblical church membership:

Having been led by God to repent and believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ and having been baptized as a profession of this faith, we commit ourselves to God and to the members of Crestview Baptist Church. Relying upon the gracious help of the Holy Spirit:

We will protect the unity of our church by acting in love toward other members, by refusing to gossip, and by following the leadership (Philippians 2:1-5; 1 Peter 1:22; Ephesians 4:29; Hebrews 13:17) .

We will share the responsibility of our church by praying for its growth, by sharing the gospel with the unchurched and inviting them to attend, and by warmly welcoming those who visit (1 Thessalonians 1:2; Matthew 28:18-20; 1 Peter 4:9).

We will serve through the ministry of our church by discovering our gifts and talents by being equipped to serve by our pastors and other church leaders, and by developing servants hearts (1 Peter 4:10; Ephesians 4:11-12; Philippians 2:3-7).

We will support the testimony of our church by attending faithfully, by honoring its doctrines, by living a godly life, and by giving regularly (Hebrews 10:25; Titus 2:1; Philippians 1:27; 1 Corinthians 16:2; Leviticus 27:30).

We will, should we move from this place, as soon as possible unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God’s Word.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all.
