We offer this covenant as an expression of who are we trying to become in our life together under the Lordship of Christ. We commit ourselves to the lifelong challenge of growing as disciples of Jesus Christ and becoming increasingly like Him in all aspects of our lives, a pilgrimage for which we accept full and personal responsibility. We joyfully welcome into our fellowship any person who shares our commitment to Jesus Christ and our vision of who He is leading us to become.

As Stewards of Convergence, we will seek to live under the following commitments:

• We will gather regularly with the congregation to worship God, share the good news of our faith, and pray for Convergence’s mission and ministry.
• We will study the Bible and seek a greater understanding of our faith, applying its teachings to all areas of our lives. We will support and encourage the Christian education of all within our community. We will be open and sensitive to God’s message as it comes to us from other sources of insight, such as persons, history, the arts, nature, and current events.
• We will intentionally develop relationships within the Convergence community to strengthen the love and concern we have for one another. We will pray for and assist those who are ill and hurting to our best ability, cultivating our Christian compassion toward the welfare of each person. Furthermore, we will value the importance of community life and seek to strengthen it for ourselves and others through a faithful outlook and loving actions.
• We will be faithful to God and this church through the creative and responsible use of our time, talents, and financial resources for the advancement of the Convergence’s mission and ministries. We will take an active interest in the programs of the church and will participate in the life of Convergence as best as we are able.
• We will take an interest in and support the mission and outreach of Convergence as we seek to minister in the community, region, nation, and world. We will support our relationships with other Baptist Churches as well as the ecumenical and interfaith relationships we have.
• We will respect the freedom of all persons to develop their own understanding and application of their Christian beliefs as they pertain to moral, social, and political issues. We will seek dialogue rather than conflict with those with whom we differ.
• We will appreciate, respect, and encourage diversity and inclusion at Convergence. We will conduct ourselves in a loving and responsible manner in our relationships with each other.
• We have read the Articles of Incorporation, Constitution and Bylaws, including but not limited to those policies dealing with church discipline, conflict resolution, and members’ responsibilities and privileges and agree to be bound by the Articles of Incorporation, Constitution and Bylaws.

Please check the boxes above to affirm that you have read and understood the Stewards commitments.

What’s a Steward? A Steward is one who identifies her/himself as a follower of Jesus Christ and wishes to unite with the Convergence family in a committed way of accountability. In doing so, one commits to God and one another to support the mission of Convergence by living out the church covenant as expressed in our bylaws. This “stewardship” is open to all who feel called to that responsibility and choose to engage in the preparation that is required. A Steward commits to regular and ongoing support of Convergence in the following ways: praying, serving, attending, contributing, promoting and financial giving. Collectively, the Stewards are the voting body of Convergence.
