Faith Baptist Church was founded as an Independent Baptist Church.
We have endeavoring to have a complete church program which is free from modernism, liberalism, conservative in methods, and fundamental in doctrine.
Having been led, as we believe, by the spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus as our Savior and on the profession of our faith, having been baptize in the name of Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, we do now, in the presence of God, angels and this assembly, most joyfully enter into covenant with one another, as one body in Christ.
We engage therefor, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in Christian love; to strive for the advancement of his church, in knowledge, holiness and comfort; to promote its prosperity and spirituality; to sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline and doctrines; to give it a sacred pre-eminence over all institutions of human origin; 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 nations.
We also engage to maintain family and secret devotions; to religiously educate our children; to seek the 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 one another in prayer; to aid one another in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and courtesy in speech; to be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation, and mindful of the rule 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, were we carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God's word.
