Covenant
We recognize this work is critical to our community and will challenge us. The enemy will test us. Together we will pray for God’s strength to individually and collectively hold true to the principles outlined in this covenant.
OUR ACTIVITY | Serve like Jesus
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh;
rather, serve one another humbly in love. Galatians 5:13
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Ephesians 6:18
- Always pray for one another.
- Listen to and be open to the Holy Spirit.
- Be willing to lose, so that we may win – personal ego has no place.
OUR AUTHENTICITY | Be True
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—
if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—
think about such things. Philippians 4:8
- Have each other’s back, in public and in private.
- Be open, honest, and respectful. Work with integrity.
- When disagreements and misunderstandings occur, discuss them directly with the individual.
Assume positive intentions.
- Speak the same thing in and out. Have one voice.
OUR AFFECTION | Love the African American Community
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this,
everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.
John 13:34-35
- Maintain transparency with one another.
- As a member, individuals will not benefit financially.
