What We Believe

Believing that I have been led by the Lord to become a member of the Westside Church of God, I freely accept and commit myself to the following:

I shall live according to the New Testament teachings concerning faith in Christ, love for God, and obedience to the Holy Spirit that are expounded in this church.

I shall live a spirit-filled and spirit-led life of practical and daily holiness, so that no reproach is brought upon the family of God and so that others may see my Godly life and glorify our Lord Jesus Christ.

I do believe in, and shall practice, the Ordinances of the Church: baptism in the name of the Lord, regular participation in Holy Communion, and the observance of feet washing.

I shall be faithful in attendance at worship, supportive of the spiritual leadership of the church and consistent in the giving of the Lord's tithe and my offerings to the work of the church.

I shall gladly engage in the work of the church, according to my spiritual gifts and for the welfare of my brothers and sisters. I shall faithfully serve in elected or assigned positions and take whatever training and/or instruction necessary to perform my duties well.

I will love the other members, seek to edify and strengthen them, and refuse to engage in gossip, backbiting, or any unchristian treatment of them.

I shall refrain from all sexual immorality and the use of tobacco, all intoxicating beverages and drugs, since my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

I shall participate in holy activity that strengthens my spiritual character such as, regular prayer, Bible reading, quiet times with the Lord, fasting, the reading of good books, and witnessing for Jesus Christ as He presents opportunity.

I shall pray for the other members of the body of Christ, show love and concern for them at all times, and be of willing assistance to them in times of stress, sorrow, suffering, and spiritual need.

If it becomes necessary to terminate my membership here for any reason, I shall so inform the Pastor and seek to unite with another evangelical, spirit-filled church wherever I may go.
I commit myself to this covenant in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
