THE COVENANT

In order to respond to what God is doing among us, in order to be that people He is calling us to be, we desire to give our whole lives to Him, to follow His Son, Jesus, and to live more and more fully in the Holy Spirit. We desire to love and serve Him in lives of daily prayer and service, to praise and worship Him always; to ever seek His face; to know and serve the truth of His Word in the joy, peace and love of the Holy Spirit; to believe what He speaks to us and to be obedient to the truth of His Word and the guidance of His Spirit; to offer hospitality to those whom He send us; to widen our hearts to those He adds to our numbers, and to carry out the mission throughout the world that He is entrusting to us. Above all, we desire to be a people who always grow by His great mercy, in the fervor of that "First Love" He has given us: He who is our all. And we desire to consecrate our lives to Him not simply as individuals but as members of a people; members of Christ the King Association and the Servants of God's Love Community.

We know that in order for us to be truly a people of one mind and heart in our response to the Lord, we need to serve and care for our brothers and sisters in the Christ the King and we need to understand and accept those things, which make our life together as one body possible. We know that we need to meet together with the Community when the Community meets. We know that we need to respect and support the pattern and order of our life together. And we know that we need to support the life of the Community with our material and financial resources. All of this is simply to take responsibility for those the Lord has given to us; to be a new family, members of the same body, brothers and sisters working together in the mission He is entrusting to us as a people.

We desire to put our lives into His hands completely and to follow Him as a people wherever He may lead us.
