We covenant one with another to seek and respond to the word and the will of God. We purpose to walk together in the ways of the Lord, made known to us. We hold it to be the mission of the Church to witness to the Gospel in the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth in all the world, while worshiping God and striving for truth, justice and peace. As did our fathers and mothers, we depend on the Holy Spirit to lead and empower us. We pray for the kingdom of God among us, and as it is still to come, and we look with faith toward the triumph of righteousness and eternal life.
