Our Covenant.
We are committed to each other through our covenant of membership, so each member has a personal commitment to the other members and to our way of life.
Our covenant includes the following:
To become members of the Community through teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread and prayer.
To participate in Community gatherings and teachings and to enter fully into Community life.
To receive one another and to forgive one another as soon as a quarrel begins. We will not hold grudges against our Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
To pray for and encourage one another, to serve one another and to share our needs.
To accept our leaders in Community and support their decisions in matters relating to the good order and life of the Community.
To accept those The Lord will add to our numbers.
To be of service to the Church when called.
To be of service to The Lord when ever He may call.
To speak in an upbuilding manner about one another and to guard against negative and destructive talk so as not to grieve the Holy Spirit.
To do all we can to preserve unity in the Community by acting in charity, selflessness of service, gentleness and showing patience to our Brothers and Sisters.
