MEMBERSHIP COVENANT

     Having received Christ as my Lord and Savior and having been baptized, and being in agreement with Fairview Baptist Church’s statements, strategy, and structure, I now feel led by the Holy Spirit to unite with the Fairview Baptist Church family.  In doing so, I commit myself to God and to the other members to do the following:

1.  I WILL PROTECT THE UNITY OF MY CHURCH  BY

•   acting in love toward other members.

•   refusing to gossip.

•   following the leaders.

“So let us concentrate on the things which make for harmony, and on the growth of our fellowship together.”  (Romans 14:19)
 

2.  I WILL SHARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF MY CHURCH BY

•    praying for its growth.

•    inviting the unchurched to attend.

•    warmly welcoming those who visit.

“So, warmly welcome each other into the church, just as Christ has warmly welcomed you; then God will be glorified.” (Romans 15:7)
 

3.  I WILL SERVE IN THE MINISTRIES OF MY CHURCH BY

•    discovering my gifts and talents.

•    being equipped to serve by my church’s Pastor and Lay Leaders.

•    developing a servant’s heart.

“Each of you should look not only to your own interest, but also to the interests of others.  Your attitude should be the same as that of Jesus Christ...who took on the very nature of a servant....”  (Philippians 2:4-7)

4.  I WILL SUPPORT THE TESTIMONY OF MY CHURCH BY

•    attending faithfully

•    living a godly life

•    giving regularly

“Let us not give up the habit of meeting together....but let us encourage one another.”  (Hebrews 10:25)

PURPOSE -- To enlist each person’s commitment to the unity,  responsibilities, service and support of the "Fairview Family."
