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 into the name of the Father, and of 

the Son and of the Holy Spirit, we do now, in the presence of God, 

angels, and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into 

the 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 its' prosperity and 

spirituality; to sustain its' worship, ordinances, discipline and 

doctrines; to contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support 

of the ministry, the expenses of the church,the relief of the 

poor, and the spread of the Gospel through all the nations. We 

also engage to maintain family and secret devotions; to 

religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our 

kindred 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, back-biting, and 

excessive anger, to consider my body the Temple of the Holy Spirit 

and to avoid any physical, mental or social abuse which would 

destroy of hinder its effective service in Christ. 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 each other in sickness and 

distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and courtesy 

in speech; to be slow to take offense, but always ready for 

reconcilliation, and mindful of the rules of our Saviour, to to 

secure it without delay. And 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.
