Berkshire County Revival Fires Covenant
We, the County-wide church covenant this day to the commandment of Our Lord Jesus Christ as reflected in John 13:34-35 (NIV) that we will be known by our love one to another. “A new Command I give to you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. All men will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.” We purpose in our hearts to fulfill the call to celebrate the oneness of all believers as expressed in Ephesians 4:1-6 by these actions: We covenant: 1. To gather together bi-weekly (pastors and/or lay leaders) for times of prayer in order that God will be the “director” of all we do, that we may edify one another as well as to gain a sense of the Lord’s direction for the ministry of BCRF. 2. To gather together bi-weekly (pastors and/or lay leaders) for the express purpose of planning and promoting future opportunities for outreach recognizing that our diverse giftedness is an asset to furthering God’s Kingdom. In our sharing of ideas, time and resources we will assist in fulfilling the biblical mandate to reach the lost regardless of our differences in doctrine, style and organization. We will remain centered on Jesus Christ who will lead us by His Holy Spirit to overcome these differences through serving, accepting, forgiving, supporting, loving and the building up of each other in His name. 3. To confer with one another should a member of our church within BCRF seek to enter into fellowship of another member church. These matters will be handled with a spirit of reconciliation and a will to maintain the spiritual well being of such members as they make decisions that impact the lives of those in the effected congregation. 4. To build God’s Kingdom by participating and encouraging our congregation to participate in all of our common activities of prayer, worship and outreach. We, as members and representatives of the Body of Christ do hereby covenant in commitment the articles above.
