These are the vows you’ll make when being welcomed into membership at Ithaca:
- Do you believe in the eternal, Triune God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), and the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as His inspired, authoritative Word?
- Do you acknowledge yourself to be a sinner in need of God’s grace, and do you trust in Jesus Christ alone as your Lord, Saviour, and King, relying on the Holy Spirit to help you turn from sin and follow Him?
- Do you commit, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to participate faithfully in the life of this church: worshipping with us, growing with us, serving with us, pursuing unity and peace, and submitting to the loving oversight of the elders?
- Congregation: Do you, in the power of the Holy Spirit, welcome these brothers and sisters into our fellowship, committing to love them, serve them, pray for them, seek peace and unity with them, and walk with them as together we follow Christ?
