Covenant of Church Membership   Presb. Pics

I believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the Word of God and the only infallible rule of faith and life.

I believe in the one living and true God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as revealed in the Scriptures.

I confess my guilt and helplessness as a sinner against God; I acknowledge Jesus Christ as my Saviour as he is offered in the gospel; I own him as my Lord and I dedicate myself to His service. I covenant with Him that I will endeavour to forsake all sin and conform my life to his teaching and example.

I promise to submit in the Lord to the teaching and government of this church as being based on the Scriptures and described in substance in the Constitution of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Australia. I recognise  my responsibility to work with others in the church, and promise to support and encourage them in their service to the Lord. Should I need correction in doctrine or life, I promise to respect the authority and discipline of the church.

To the end that I may grow in the Christian life, I promise that I will be obedient to God's commands.

I propose to see first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness in all the relationships of life, faithfully to perform my holy duty as a true servant of Jesus Christ.

I make this profession of faith and purpose in the presence of God, in humble reliance upon His grace, as I desire to give my account with joy at the last Great Day.
