our covenant
Gospel Life Community Church is committed to the cause of Jesus Christ and abide by the authority of his Word. We adhere to the 2000 Baptist Faith and Message and commit to one another through our church covenant:
Having been led by the Holy Spirit to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and, on the profession of our faith, having been baptized in the name of our Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we do now, in the presence of God, and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another as one body of Christ.
We engage, therefore, to embody an Acts 2 missional church as described by Scripture: “And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved” (Acts 2:42-47).
Furthermore, it is our heart and desire to see the nations proclaim the glory of Christ. In order to accomplish this, we will prepare ourselves through prayer, study of the infallible Word of God, accountability, love, and reconciliation to fulfill the Great Commission: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20).
