New Hope Baptist Church Membership Covenant
"New Hope Baptist Church exists to proclaim God's Word from the Bible in order to grow as a fellowship into mature believers who love, worship, and serve Jesus Christ."
Having received Christ as my Lord and Savior and having been baptized, and being in agreement with New Hope's statements, strategy, and structure, I now feel led by the Holy Spirit to unite with the New Hope Baptist Church family. In doing so, I commit myself to God and to the other members to do the following:
1. I will protect the unity of my church by acting in love toward other members, by refusing to gossip, and by submitting to and following the leadership of the church.
2. I will share the responsibility of my church by praying for its growth, by inviting the unchurched to attend, and by warmly welcoming those who visit.
3. I will serve the ministry of my church by discovering my gifts and talents, by being equipped to serve by my pastors/elders, and by developing a servant's heart.
4. I will support the testimony of my church by attending faithfully, by living a godly life, and by giving regularly.
After completing this form, please email the office (office@newhopenampa.org) a written copy of your testimony.
Your testimony should include:
- The Gospel
- Why you needed salvation
- What you were like before salvation
