Having received Christ as my Lord and Savior and been baptized, and being in agreement with Carolinas Cornerstone Church’s statements, strategy, and structure, I now feel led by the Holy Spirit to unite ​with the ​Carolinas Cornerstone church family. In doing so, I commit myself to God and to the other members to do the following:

​1. I will protect the unity of my church

• by acting in love toward other members
  
• by refusing to gossip
• by following the leaders

Rom. 14:19 PHILLIPS

So let us concentrate on the things which make for harmony, and on the growth of our fellowship together.

1 Pet. 1:22 TEV

Have sincere love for other believers, love one another earnestly with all your heart.

Eph. 4:29 NIV

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs

Heb. 13:17 GW

Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be no advantage to you.

2. I will share the responsibility of my church

• by praying for its growth
• by inviting the unchurched to attend
  
• by warmly welcoming those who visit

1 Thess. 1:1-2 LB

To the church - ... We always thank God for you and pray for you constantly.

So, warmly welcome each other into the church, just as Christ has warmly welcomed you; then God will be glorified.

3. I will serve the ministry of my church

• by discovering my gifts and talents
• by being equipped to serve by my pastors
  
• by developing a servant’s heart

1 Pet. 4:10 PHILLIPS

Serve one another with the particular gifts God has given each of you.

Eph. 4:11-12 KJV

God gave... some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.

Phil. 2:3-4, 7 NIV

Each of you should look not only to your own interest, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who... (took on) the very nature of a servant.

4. I will support the testimony of my church

• by attending faithfully
• by living a godly life
• ​by giving regularly

Heb. 10:25 NIV

Let us not give up meeting together... but let us encourage one another.

Phil. 1:27 PHILLIPS

Whatever happens, make sure that your everyday life is worthy of the gospel of Christ.
