Our Covenant:

Each member of Blue Springs Baptist Church (BSBC) accepts and is committed to the following affirmation: By becoming a member of BSBC, my purpose is to cooperate fully with the other members to advance the cause of our Lord Jesus Christ through this local Church.

I join with fellow believers in this commitment. I sincerely affirm that I am trusting solely in the merits of Jesus Christ for my salvation from sin. I also affirm that I have accepted and am committed to the Statement of Faith and all other provisions of the Constitution and Bylaws. I gladly affirm that by His enabling grace I will endeavor to conduct my life in accordance with the following Scriptural principles:


• I will sincerely pray that Christ be exalted and that
lives be blessed through the ministries of this Church. (II Thessalonians 3:1)


• I will endeavor to live in a way that consistently honors Jesus Christ, whom I acknowledge as the Lord of my whole life. (Ephesians 4:1)


• I will participate as regularly as possible in worship and fellowship with this congregation. (Hebrews 10:25)


• I will seek to discover my spiritual gifts and to use them in some form of Christian service within this Church. (Ephesians 4:11-13)


• I will endeavor to participate faithfully in the financial support of the ministries of this Church. (II Corinthians 9:6-11)


• I will refrain from propagating my Scriptural interpretations that differ from those set forth in the Statement of Faith and the Doctrinal Statement in order to avoid unprofitable divisions caused by contention. (I Corinthians 1:10-11)


At the same time, I will allow freedom of expression in non-essentials so that we may learn from one another. (I Thessalonians 5:21) If my adherence to the Scriptural principle above is called in question and should the matter then be taken up by the ruling body, I agree to submit the difference or charges to the Senior Pastor. If I remain unwilling to settle the difference on Scriptural grounds (Matthew 18:15-17), then I agree that the Church should drop my name from the roll of church membership.
