Believing that the hand of God is upon us, and that the place whereon we stand is holy ground, we confess that the chief end of our lives is to glorify God and enjoy him forever.  In this faith we associate ourselves in a Christian Church, and as the Lord's free people declare our purpose to walk in the way of the Lord, made known or to be made known.  Repenting of sin and confessing Jesus Christ as our Teacher, Saviour, and Lord, we together seek light through the Word, guidance by the Spirit, strength in prayer, and joy in Service.  Invoking the aid of God, we do now covenant and agree with each other to maintain this Church, promising to attend its meetings, give to it of our substance, and take each one his share in its work.  We undertake this Covenant in the power of an endless life, praying that, loving and being loved, serving and being served, blessing and being blessed, we may be prepared while we dwell together on earth for the perfect Communion of the Saints in heaven.  Amen.
