Having received Christ as my Savior and Lord, and being in agreement with Greater Life Church’s doctrinal statement and ministry philosophy, I commit myself to God and to the members of Greater Life Church to do the following:
1. I will be a faithful in ATTENDANCE
• “Let us not give up meeting together…let us encourage one another” (Hebrews 10:25).
• “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” (Ephesians 4:3).
• “Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves” (Romans 12:10).
• “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen” (Ephesians 4:29).
• “Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you” (Hebrews 13:17)
2. I will be obedient in GIVING
• “On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income” (I Corinthians 16:2).
• “Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the LORD Almighty, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Let me prove it to you!” (Malachi 3:10)
3. I will be engaged in SERVICE
• “So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty’” (Luke 17:10).
• “Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who… [took on] the very nature of a servant” (Philippians 2:4-5,7).
• “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms” (I Peter 4:10).
• “It was he [God] who gave…some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up” (Ephesians 4:11-12).
