Membership Covenant

As a follower of Jesus Christ and in response to His redemptive love for me, it is my desire, interest, and intention, by the power of His Spirit, to freely enter into covenant relationship with His Bride, the Church, as is expressed in this particular body of believers, known as Perimeter Church.

I affirm the following statements of faith as set forth by the Presbyterian Church in America.

1. I acknowledge myself to be a sinner in the sight of God, justly deserving His displeasure, and without hope, except through His sovereign mercy and grace.
2. I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and Savior of sinners, and do receive and rest upon Him alone for salvation as He is offered in the gospel.
3. I do now resolve and promise, in humble reliance upon the grace of the Holy Spirit, that I will endeavor to live as becomes a follower of
4. I promise to support the Church in its worship and work to the best of my
5. I submit myself to the government and discipline of the Church and promise to study its purity and peace.

I affirm and will participate in the vision, mission, and values of Perimeter Church:

• Vision: Kingdom Flourishing – To see people come into right relationship with God, self, and neighbor as they experience His kingdom and express it to the world.
• Mission: Spiritual multiplication – To form gospel-rooted disciples of Christ who make and train disciples.
• Values: To live out the gospel faithfully and intentionally in my home, work, and city by:
  • Worshipping (privately and publicly)
  • Belonging (helping others feel seen and needed)
  • Growing (engaging in discipleship and with the means of grace)
  • Blessing (serving people where I live, work and play and sharing the gospel)

I affirm the servant leadership of Christ and His church.

 Knowing that the pastors and elders of Perimeter Church have submitted themselves to the authority of Christ and have committed themselves to my spiritual care, I submit myself to Christ and to the leadership of His Church.

• I will pray for leadership even as they pray for me.
• I will encourage. If I have a concern or question, believing the best, I will ask the appropriate leaders to seek to
• Should conflict arise between me and any other person in the church, I agree to follow biblical guidelines to restore and reconcile relationships.

I acknowledge the call of God to pastors and elders to shepherd the flock and equip them for works of service.

I will expect a contact from my shepherding elder each quarter. I will engage with him to share any needs I have that I feel appropriate to share. I will pray for him even as he prays for me.
