God initiated a covenant relationship with Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and then a new Covenant through Jesus! In each of these Covenants, God establishes a relationship for a purpose. God invites us into a Covenantal relationship to receive his blessing in order to bring that blessing out into the world. Covenant Partners are invited by God’s grace to make a Covenant Commitment to Jesus and to one another, reflecting an intentional commitment to be an apprentice of Jesus and a blessing to one another and to reflect that blessing out into our community. This commitment to each other includes but is not limited to prayer, empathy, believing the best in each other, patience, generosity, forgiveness, and loving one another sacrificially in a manner fitting of the gospel. By becoming a Covenant Partner, you are acknowledging the profound gift of God’s covenant relationship to you through the saving work of Jesus. And that this good news is made to know us through the Old and New Testament, the only perfect rule for faith doctrine and conduct.
