II. The third
section is the Church Covenant:
The
Church Covenant
is an agreement between the members of the church to live in a
Christ-like manner. It addresses how we are to support the
church as a whole, how we are to conduct our personal lives,
and how we are to relate to each other as individuals.
IV. The fourth
and final section is the Constitution:
The
Constitution
is the legal document that defines our type of government and
how we will conduct our business.
A
Final Word:
It is one
thing to record our beliefs in a nice concise manner for
everyone to read and understand. It is another for every
member of Tabernacle Baptist Church to live out these beliefs
so that a lost and dying world can see Jesus Christ in our
lives and hear from us how they too can have eternal life
through His name. It is our solemn prayer that this document
will in some way contribute to that cause.
II. The
second section is the Fundamental Baptist Statement:
The
Fundamental Baptist Statement has been a part of the statement
of the beliefs of Tabernacle since the founding of the
church. It was intended to bring together, in summary form, a
few of the beliefs of the church that addressed the major
challenges to the church at the time of its founding.
Although we face some different challenges today, we still
face those addressed in this statement, and it stands as a
proclamation of some of the specific aspects of who we are.
It is good for us to remember our foundations.
