THREE COMMITMENTS

1. THE MEMBERSHIP COMMITMENT...

…is a commitment to Christ and the First Presbyterian Church family.

“You are members of God’s very own family…and you belong in God’s household with every other Christian.” Ephesians 2:19 (Living Bible)

“We are all parts of Christ’s Body, and it takes every one of us to make it complete, for we each have different work to do. So we belong to each other and need all the others.” 2 Peter 3:18

2. THE MATURITY COMMITMENT…

…is a commitment to the habits necessary for spiritual growth.

“Continue to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”

2 Peter 3:18

3. THE MINISTRY OR MISSIONS COMMITMENT…

…is a commitment to discovering and using my God-given gifts and abilities in service to God and others, or sharing the Good News with others.

“God has given each of you some special abilities; be sure to use them to help each other…” 1 Peter 4:10 (Living Bible)

“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do it with gentleness and respect…” 1 Peter 3:15

Why do we have these COMMITMENTS? We become what we are committed to!
