FAMILY COVENANT

As a Christ follower, I understand the importance of the local church as God's primary vehicle to expand His Kingdom. I therefore desire to be a part of the Gracepoint family and agree to the following commitments of faith and church.

My Commitment to the Essential Doctrines of the Faith

I believe in and agree with the following:

  1. The authority, inspiration, and sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures.

  2. That the God of the Bible is the only true and living God.

  3. That God is one in essence and three in person; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

  4. That Jesus was the promised Messiah, the Christ, the Son of God.

  5. That Christ was born of the Virgin Mary.

  6. That Christ became a man in His incarnation while remaining at the same time fully God.

  7. That Christ lived a sinless and perfect life.

  8. That Christ died innocently on the cross to pay for the sins of guilty sinners.

  9. That Christ rose from the dead on the third day.

  10. That salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

  11. That Christ will physically appear again on the last day.

  12. That there will be a general resurrection of the dead.

  13. That those who are in Christ will enter into eternal joy and those who are lost shall enter into eternal punishment.

My Commitment to Gracepoint Church

As a member of the Gracepoint family, I commit, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to practice the following essentials of a healthy church:

  1. A life of Grace and Truth as found in the scriptures.

  2. Promote unity within the church and choose not to be divisive in personal or doctrinal matters.

  3. Actively participate in GraceLife, our discipleship pathway.

  4. Love, Pray, and Serve one another.

  5. Submit to and honor the leaders of the church as unto the Lord.

  6. Invest my God-given resources of time, talent, and treasure

  7. Support the discipline of the church with a heart of love.

My Commitment to the Local Church

Further, if I move from Gracepoint for any reason, I will inform the leadership of my intent and will seek to find another Gospel-centered church in my new location.
