Our Church Covenant
Living Waters Tabernacle is a part of the Church of God Mountain Assembly
Since 1906, the Church of God Mountain Assembly has been impacting the world with transforming power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The CGMA, INC. currently serves local communities with established churches throughout the United States and in over 28 countries around the world. The International Headquarters is located in Jellico, Tennessee. The CGMA is a Christ centered organization who exists to promote the gospel message to all nations.
Having been led as we believe by the Spirit of God to receive the Spirit of God to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour, and on the profession of faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, we do now in the presence of God, angels and the Assembly most solemnly and joyously enter into this covenant with one another as one body in Christ.
We engage, therefore, by the Holy Spirit to walk together in Christian love, strive for the advancement of the Church in knowledge, holiness, and comfort, to promote its prosperity and spirituality, to sustain its worship ordinances, discipline and doctrine, to contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the Ministry, the expense of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the gospel to all nations.
We also engage to maintain family and secret devotion, to religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances; to walk circumspectly and exemplary in our deportment; to avoid tattling, backbiting, and excessive anger; to abstain from the sale and use of intoxicating drinks, and to be zealous to advance the kingdom of our Saviour.
We further agree to watch over each other 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 for reconciliation and mindful of the rule of our Saviour to serve it without delay.
