The Covenant
Not a contract. A covenant. Not perfection. Pursuit.
The Words of the Covenant
To Love God
I will pursue intimacy with the Father through prayer, Scripture, and worship. I will listen for His voice and follow where He leads, even when the path is not yet clear.
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind.” — Matthew 22:37
To Love Neighbor
I will actively look for ways to serve those around me. I will prioritize the vulnerable, the isolated, the forgotten — the ones my city has overlooked.
“Love your neighbor as yourself.” — Matthew 22:39
To Serve Faithfully
When I am able and a need arises, I will respond. I will be present in my community, not just my home. I will not cross the street to avoid inconvenience.
“Faith without works is dead.” — James 2:17
To Gather Consistently
I will not neglect the assembly of believers. I will break bread with my covenant community, pray with them, and show up when showing up is hard.
“Do not give up meeting together.” — Hebrews 10:25
To Return When I Fail
When I fall short of this covenant — and I will — I will not be ashamed into hiding. I will return. Grace marks my beginning. Grace sustains my journey.
“His mercies are new every morning.” — Lamentations 3:23
“When I fail, I will return. When I rest, I will not be shamed. When I serve, I will not boast. Grace marks my beginning. Grace sustains my journey. Grace defines my community.”
