Zion Missionary Baptist Church of East Chicago Indiana...
Welcome to the Zion Missionary Baptist Church website. We truly appreciate your visit and we're excited to share our church ministries with you hoping someone will ask what must I do to be saved. May the Lord continue to Bless you and use you as a conduit through which His
Holy Spirit's Presence, Power, and Anointing can flow is our Prayer.
Having been led, as we believe by the spirit of God to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour and on the Profession of our faith we have been baptized in the name of the father, of the son, and of the Holy Ghost, we do now, in presence of God, angels, and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another, as one body in Christ.
WE ENGAGE THEREFORE by the aid of the Holy Spirit to walk together in Christian love; to strive for the advancement of this church, in knowledge, holiness, and comfort; to promote its prosperity and spirituality; to sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline; to contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the Gospel through all nations.
WE ALSO ENGAGE to maintain family and secret devotions: to religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances; to walk circumspectly in the world; to be just in our dealings, faithful in our engagements, and exemplary in our deportment: to avoid all tattling, backbiting, and excessive anger; to abstain from the sale and use of intoxicating drinks as a beverage; and to be zealous in our efforts to advance the Kingdom of our Savior.
WE FURTHER ENGAGE to watch over one another in brotherly love; to remember each other in prayer; to aid each other in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and courtesy in speech; to be slow to take offense, but always ready to reconciliation, and mindful of the rules of our Savior, to secure it without delay.
WE MOREOVER ENGAGE that when we remove from this place, we will as soon as possible unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and principles of God's word.
And now unto Him, who brought again from the dead, our Lord Jesus will always be the power and the glory forever. Amen
