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 in 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 give this Church a sacred preeminence over all human institutions and organizations; to strive for its advancement, 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 its ministry, expenses, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the Gospel through all nations.

We also engage to maintain personal and family devotions; to educate our children in the Word of God, bringing them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances; to walk circumspectly and watchfully in the world, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts; to be just in our dealing, faithful in our engagements, and exemplary in our deportment; to refrain from gossip, tattling, backbiting, and excessive anger; to abstain from all worldly and harmful indulgences, to oppose all conduct which compromises our Christian testimony and uphold high standards of Christian morality; and to be zealous in our service for the Lord, and the advancement of His Kingdom.

We further engage to walk together in Christian charity; to watch over one another in brotherly love; to avail ourselves of the of the great privilege of prayer for one another and all men; to aid one another in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and Christian courtesy in speech; to be slow to take offence, but always ready for reconciliation, and mindful of the command of our Saviour, 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 Baptist Church of like faith and order, where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God's Word.
