Community Mennonite Fellowship Covenant   This covenant is an expression of our relationship with God, our relationship with each other, and our relationship with the people of our world.  As each believer’s personal commitment to Christ is an ongoing and intentional one; this covenant is a tool that annually invites each participant in this gathering: to celebrate their personal commitment to Christ, to share that faith with others, and to be refreshed in their walk with Jesus Christ.

Acknowledge and cultivate hunger and thirst for God,  expressing this in regular participation in  worship and personal growth;
Grow spiritually through Bible study and Prayer.
  
We covenant together in our relationship with each other, committing ourselves to:
Work together to build a unified Christian community  that incorporates our gifts, strengths, and  weaknesses;
Give and receive open and direct communication with  each other in a spirit of love and mutual  respect;
Support each other in prayer; challenge each other to  faithful living, and relating to each other  in love;
Actively participate in the life, decision-making,  financial support and ministries of the  Fellowship, as God gives you strength.

We covenant together in our relationship to the world, committing ourselves to:
Share the Good News of Jesus’ gift of new life;
Be a beacon of peace and love in a just and life giving  manner, recognizing conflict and crisis around  us, and offering Christ’s hope when the opportunity arises;
