Evangelist Baptist Church

3550 Oakwood Avenue
313-381-3517

Having been led, as we believe by the spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior and the profession of our faith, having been Baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Holy Spirit, we are now in the presence of God and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another as one body in Christ.

We emgage, therefore by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in christian love, to strive for the advancement of this Church in knowledge, holiness and comfort; to promote it's prosperity and spirituality; to sustain it's worship, ordinances, discipline and doctrines; to contribut cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry of the Church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the Gospel through all Nations.

We also engage to maintain family and secret devotions; to religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances; to walk circumspectly in the world; to be just in deportment, to avoid all tattling, backbiting, and excessive anger; to abstain from the sale of, and sue of, intoxicating drinks as a beverage; to be zealous in our efforts to advance the Kingdom of our Saviour.

We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly love; to remember one another in prayer; to aid one another in sickness and in distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and Christian courtesy in speech; to be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation and mindful of the rules of our Saviour to secure it without delay,

We more engage that when we remove from this place we will, as soon as possible, unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God's word.
