Living Word Missionary Baptist Church 8369 Princeton Road Liberty Township, Ohio 45044 Church Covenant Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior, and on the profession of  our faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, we do now in the  presence of God, angels and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into this covenant with one another, as one  body in Christ. We engage 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 contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expense 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 devotion; to religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our  kindred and acquaintances; to walk circumspectly in the world; to be just in our dealings, faithful in our engagements and  exemplary in our deportment; to avoid all tattling, backbiting and excessive anger; to abstain from the sale and use of  intoxicating drinks as a beverage and to be zealous in our efforts to advance the Kingdom of our Savior.  We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly love; to remember each other in prayer; to aid each other in  sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feelings and courtesy in speech; to be slow to take offense, but  always ready for reconciliation, and mindful of the rules of our Savior to secure it without delay.  We moreover 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.
