The church is more than just a building. It is the gathered people of God.
As a follower of Christ, belonging to the church is one of the greatest gifts for your walk with Him. It is where the people of God experience the ordinary means of grace, having hearts and lives transformed by the Word, Prayer, and Sacraments. The Lord has given his church as a place to worship, gather with the saints, partake in baptism and communion, encourage one another, and be united as a family. Membership at New Covenant is open to those who profess faith in Jesus Christ. Communing Members affirm the following vows: |
- Do you acknowledge yourselves to be sinners in the sight of God, justly deserving His displeasure, and without hope except through His sovereign mercy?
- Do you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and Savior of sinners, and do you receive and trust Him alone for salvation as He is offered in the Gospel?
- Do you now resolve and promise, in humble reliance upon the grace of the Holy Spirit, that you will endeavor to live as becomes the followers of Christ?
- Do you promise to support the Church in its worship and work to the best of your ability?
- Do you submit yourselves to the government and discipline of the Church, and promise to strive for its purity and peace?
New Covenant also offers a New Members Class where people can learn more about our church, theology, denomination, and membership.
