Church Covenant

By the grace of God, having been repented and believed in our Lord Jesus Christ (Eph. 2:8), having been baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19), we affirmed our covenant with one another.

Esorgi thoujalna, paptagi pukning hongduna eikhoigi Prabhu Jisu Khristada thajaduna, Mapa, Machanupa, amasung Thawai Asengbagi mingda baptize touduna, eikhoina amaga-amaga walepnaba asi yabagi chum namminnare.

1. We will work and pray for the unity in our church (Rom. 12:4-8; Eph. 4:3-6; Phil. 2:2)
Eikhoigi singlupki amatta oiba adugidamakta eikhoina thabak suminnaduna, haijaminnagani.

2. We will love one another by building (investing in) one another (Heb. 13:1-3; 1 Thess. 5:11,14), by bearing patiently one another’s burden (Rom. 12:9-16; Gal. 6:2), watchfulness over each other and by praying for one another (Eph. 5:18).
Eikhoi amana amabu semgat-sagatnabagi mapalna, amana amagi potlumbu khangheina puminnabagi mapalna, cheksinna eikhoi masel yengsinnabagi mapalna, amasung amana amagidamak haijabagi mapalna, eikhoi masel amaga amaga nungsinagani.

3. We will humbly and gently bear with one another (Ephesians 4:2; Colossians 3:12-13) and forgive one another (Matthew 18:15-20; Luke 17:3-4).
Eikhoi amana amabu ingna tapna amasung nollukna khangnagani amasung amaga amaga koknagani.

4. We will regularly gather together (Hebrews 16;25; Acts 2:42) to hear the Gospel proclaimed, to fellowship with one another, to pray for one another, and to participate in the Church Ordinances (Baptism and Lord’s Supper) (Acts 2:38; 1 Cor11:26; Matt 18:17).
Eikhoina aphaba wapao sandokpa adu tanaba, eikhoi amaga amaga tinnajanaba, amana amagidamakta haijanaba, amasung singlupta pinabikhraba Baptism amasung Prabhugi chak-khang aduda saruk phangminanaba, chang naina eikhoi punminnagani.

5. We will live a Gospel centered life (2 Cor 5:15) as we pursue holiness (Hebrews 12:14) while denying worldly passions, all ungodliness, the devil and his schemes (Eph 2:1-3; 1 John 2:13-17).
Eikhoina taibangpalgi oiba apamba sing, Esor ningdabagi thabak pumnamak, satan amasung mahakki khusil thourangsing adu yadaduna, asengbada chaokhatpa punsi oina, aphaba wapaoda yumpham oiba punsi aduda hingminnagani.

6. We will seek to regularly remind ourselves and one another of the Gospel (Acts 20:20-21; 1 Cor 2:1-2), and to proclaim the Gospel to others (Matt 28:18-20) in word and deed (Matt 5:13-16).
Eikhoina Aphaba wapao adu esamakna amasung eikhoi maselgi marakta chang naina ningsingnagani amasung atoppa meoi singda aphaba wapao asi eikhoigi waheina amasung thabakki mapalna sandokminnagani.

7. We will work together for the continuance of a faithful evangelical ministry in this church, as we sustain its worship (Ex. 20: 2-6; 1 Chronicles 16: 28-31; John 4:24; Romans 12: 1-2), ordinances (Matt. 28:19; Luke 22:19-20; 1 Cor. 11: 27-32), discipline (Matt. 18:15-17), and doctrines (Jude 1:3).
Eikhoina Esorbu khurumbagi, singlup ta piba chatnabising, warakpibagi, amasung tambiba sing adu lumna loubagi mapalna yokkhatminnaduna, Khristagi thougal adu thajaba yana leptana eikhoi punna thougal touminnabada thabak suminnagani.

8. We will give regularly (1 Cor. 16:2), generously (Luke 21:4) and cheerfully (2 Cor 9:7) for the cause of the Gospel and missions (1 Tim 5:17).
Eikhoina aphaba wapao amasung Esorgi thougalgidamak chang naina, pukchel chaona, piningna, amasung harao tayamna pijagani.

9. We will seek membership in another Gospel preaching church when we move away from this church (Rom 16:1-2).
Eikhoina Singlup asidagi thok-khiba matamda, atoppa aphaba wapao sandokpa Singlup amada saruk yanaba thijagani.

May the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God the Father, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all. Amen (2 Cor 13:14).

Ibungo Jisu Khristgi thoujal, Epa Esorgi nungsiba, amasung Thawai Asengbagi saruk phangminnaba adu eikhoi pumnamakka loinabiba oisanu. Amen.
