Church Covenant
and Bylaws
By the grace of God we have been
led to repent of our sin and believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and
Savior. We have confessed our faith and been baptized in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Now, therefore, in the
presence of God and by His grace, we joyfully and solemnly enter into a
holy covenant with the members of Puyallup Family Community Christian
Center .
We engage to walk together in
Christian love through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Unless providentially hindered,
we will not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, but faithfully
attend the church's meetings for worship, prayer, study, and fellowship,
and will use our spiritual gifts for the common good.
We pledge to faithfully
participate in the ordinances of the church, and endeavor after unity of
mind in doctrine. We will both submit to the church's discipline upon
ourselves and lovingly assume our responsibility to participate in the
discipline of other members, as taught in Scripture.
We will contribute cheerfully and
regularly to this church for its general ministry and expenses, the
relief of the poor, the cause of reformation and revival, and the spread
of the Gospel throughout all nations.
We will strive by God's grace and
power to live as Christ in the world; and denying ungodliness and
worldly lusts we will seek to fulfill our calling to lead a holy life
and to be salt and light.
We will be just and honest in our
dealings and faithful in our responsibilities and commitments.
We will abide by the standards of
sexual purity, ethical integrity, and spiritual fidelity as taught in
the Bible.
We will reject all heretical
beliefs and practices, using Scripture as our final authority.
We purpose to watch over one
another in brotherly love, to remember one another in prayer, to help
one another in sickness and distress, and to cultivate Christian
compassion and courtesy.
Believing that the pursuit of
peace with others and personal holiness accompany true faith in Christ,
we will be slow to take offense, always eager to seek the reconciliation
Christ commands, and will work to preserve the unity of the Spirit in
the bond of peace.
We resolve to practice personal
and family worship, to train our children in the discipline and
instruction of the Lord, and to seek the salvation of our family,
friends, neighbors, co-workers, acquaintances, and of all the world.
We promise that if, in the
providence of God, we leave this church we will diligently seek to unite
with another church where we can continue to carry out the spirit and
principles of God's Word.
