Welcome to Green Run Baptist Church

What Are the Responsibilities of Membership?

GRBC Church Covenant

Having been led by the grace of God through the life-giving power of the Holy Spirit to repent of my sin and in faith turn to Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and having given public testimony of this faith through baptism, I now joyfully and solemnly enter into this covenant with the members of Green Run Baptist Church:

We commit, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in love, to remember one another in prayer, to help one another in times of need, to exercise gentleness and humility in our dealings with one another as we speak the truth in love, to be faithful in our responsibilities and commitments, to be just and honest in our dealings, and to honor ourselves and others for Christ’s sake through sexual purity, personal integrity, and abstaining from things or practices which bring harm to our faith or the faith of another.

We commit to faithful participation in times of worship, prayer, study, and fellowship with other believers, to the building up of the church by using our spiritual gifts in ministry, to contributing cheerfully and regularly for the ministry and expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the gospel to the world.

We commit to practice personal and family worship, to train our children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord, and to seek the salvation of our family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, acquaintances, and all peoples of the world.

We commit to submit to the teaching and leadership of the Elders inasmuch as it accords in good conscience with the truth of scripture, to the governing of the church according to its Constitution and Bylaws, to the settlement of disputes by and/or among the members of the church without appeal to any outside civil court, according to Matthew 18:15-20; 1 Corinthians 6:1-8 and the Rules of Christian Conciliation, to the Word of God as our final authority, to the church’s discipline upon ourselves and lovingly assume our responsibility to participate in the discipline of other members, as taught in scripture.

We have read the Constitution, Bylaws and Policies of the church, including the dealing with church discipline, conflict resolution and members’ rights and responsibilities and membership covenant and agree to be bound by the Policies and Procedures set forth in them.
