The First Baptist Church of Macedon receives the Old and New Testaments as an all-sufficient basis of doctrine and practice and adopts the following Church covenant:
Believing that God first loved us and as our Creator gave us gifts of:
Christ as Lord and Saviour
The Holy Spirit as Advocate and Comforter
The Bible as all-sufficient guide to doctrine and practice
We covenant with God and one another, by the grace of Jesus Christ, faithfully to:
Celebrate the ordinances of believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper
Affirm historic Baptist principles of soul freedom, local Church autonomy, religious liberty and separation of Church and state
Support, love, forgive and care for each other
Make this a place of Christian devotion welcoming all persons
Affirm spiritual growth through daily prayer, weekly worship, Bible study, fellowship, mission and service
Share the gospel, exercise justice, demonstrate compassion; tend God’s creation
Live consistently Christian lives at home, work and in the community
Offer our God-given gifts, time, talents, tithes and pledges to further the kingdom of God
Love God with heart and soul, mind and strength, and our neighbors as ourselves.
