NHBC Covenant
Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God, to receive Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior, of our lives, and, on the profession of our faith, having been baptized in the name of the 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 in Christ.
To Know God Personally
By regularly observing a personal prayer filled life, by studying of the Scriptures, by having private and shared worship and by earnestly seeking the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit; we will through life’s prosperity and hardships, seek to live to the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. We will strive to observe the acts of remembrances that God has put in place to remind us of all that He has and will do.
To Know God Together
By praying and watching over one another in Christian love and kindness, by sharing in joys and bearing one another’s burdens, by holding one another accountable, we will strive to be one in Christ. By Christ as our example, we will be courteous in speech, slow to take offence, ready to reconcile and encouraging one another in the faith. We unite together recognizing our individual gifts that God has given us, are for His Church, the people of God.
To Make Him known
By following the Spirits leading we will walk wisely in the world, be just in our dealings; faithful in our engagements and trustworthy. We will be obedient in the carrying out of the Great Commission by being the hands and feet of Jesus and making Him known, for the advancement of His Kingdom until He returns.
