Calvary's Confession of Faith

We accept the Confession of Faith of the Grand Rapids Association of Regular Baptists as revised, September 1944.

Church Covenant

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 covenant with one another as one body in Christ.

We purpose, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in Christian love; to strive for the advancement of this church, 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 the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the gospel through all nations.

We purpose to give God preeminence in all things. We also propose to maintain family and personal devotions; to train our children according to the Word of God; to seek the salvation of our family and acquaintances; to walk uprightly in the world; to be just in our dealings, faithful in our commitments, and exemplary in our conduct; to abstain from all forms of activity which dishonor our Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

We further purpose to watch over one another in brotherly love; to remember each other in prayer; to aid each other 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 rules of our savior, to secure it without delay.

We moreover purpose that, when we remove from this place, we will as soon as possible unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God's Word.
