The
Membership Covenant of the Panther Valley Ecumenical Church
We, a gathering of the people of God, celebrating the one
God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, seeking in faithfulness to unite under the Gospel for
Christ's mission and service to the world, covenant to seek the development of Christian
unity and community.
In joining together in this covenant we take upon
ourselves these responsibilities:
To be involved in this Church through
participation in its program, underwriting its support with our substance, and through the
commitment of our abilities to its mission;
To grow in a living, working faith so that we will
be sensitive to each other's needs and equipped to meet them;
To be sensitive to new forms of worship and
Church;
To involve ourselves in the most pressing needs of
our society, thereby making real the redemptive role of Christ's Church;
To include in our vision the world-wide concerns of
the Christian faith;
To welcome to our fellowship all people whatever
their race, condition, ethnic origin, or religious denomination;
To witness corporately and individually to our
faith in Jesus Christ
We assume these responsibilities to the end that
the Lord Jesus Christ, who made us one body under one covenant, sealed by his own blood,
may have his prayer answered,
"That
they may all be one"
