We engage, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in Christian love; to
strive for the advancement of this church in knowledge and holiness; to give it a place in our affections,
prayers and services above every organization of human origin; to sustain its worship, ordinances,
discipline and doctrine; to contribute cheerfully and regularly, as God has prospered us, towards its
expenses, for the support of a faithful and evangelical ministry among us, the relief of the poor and
the spread of the Gospel throughout the world. In case of difference of opinion in the church, we
will strive to avoid a contentious spirit, and if we cannot unanimously agree,  we will cheerfully
recognize the right of the majority to govern.

            We also engage to maintain family and secret devotion; to study diligently the word of God;
to religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances; to walk
circumspectly in the world; to be kind and just to those in our employ, and faithful in the service
we promise others; endeavoring in the purity of heart and good will towards all men to exemplify
and commend our holy faith.

            We further engage to watch over, to pray for, to exhort and stir up each other unto every
good word and work; to guard each other’s reputation, not needlessly exposing the infirmities
of others; to participate in each other’s joys, and with tender sympathy bear one another’s
burdens and sorrows; to cultivate Christian courtesy; to be slow to give or take offense but
always ready for reconciliation, being mindful of the rules of the Saviour in the eighteenth chapter
of Matthew, to secure it without delay; and through life, amid evil report, and good report, to seek
to live to the glory of God, who hath called us out of darkness into his Marvelous light.

            When we remove from this place, we engage as soon as possible to unite with some other
church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and principles of God’s word
