Our covenant of membership in the church SymphonicI agree with the following statements:1.
Jesus Christ has called me into His full life and I have accepted His call through faith. I am trusting in
Him alone for my life and my eternity. 2. Because Jesus Christ has called me and I have responded, He is my Lord and
my King; I owe allegiance to Him before any other and I earnestly seek to know and to do His will. 3. Because
Jesus commanded it, after I accepted His life through believing in the gospel, I was baptized in His name as a symbol
of the relationship I have with Him. 4. I believe Jesus Christ would have me to be a part of the living organism
that is the church Symphonic and to express His life in me to all other parts of the church through every means
available to me as He leads me and enables me. 5. I will submit myself to the authority of the leaders of
the church Symphonic whom Jesus has given to the church to the extent they themselves submit to Jesus Christ and
follow Him. 6. If I believe any part of the church Symphonic is straying from following Jesus as I understand
His leading, I will lovingly communicate this and seek both understanding and correction for myself and the other person(s). 7. Because Jesus commanded it, I will continually seek to be an agent of reconciliation in the world through
being a carrier of the gospel message everywhere I go, excluding no person from the opportunity to know God’s love
for them. 8. As Jesus asked, I will participate with the church in the remembering His broken body and shed
blood in the rite of communion. 9. I will separate myself from the church Symphonic when and if Jesus Christ leads
me to do so for whatever purposes He may show me.
