• I COMMIT MYSELF TO JESUS CHRIST AS LORD OF MY LIFE
  Jesus Christ will be my top priority. In all that I say and do, I will seek to emulate the Lord Jesus Christ, upon whom I will rely to keep the covenant that I am making.
  
  
• I COMMIT MYSELF TO ATTENDANCE AT WORSHIP SERVICES
  I will take time to be in church each week I am able in order to worship God as part of my church home.
  
  
• I COMMIT MYSELF TO BIBLE STUDY, PRAYER AND OTHER CHRISTIAN DISCIPLINES
  I will study my Bible, pray, serve others and develop other Christian disciplines and habits. In particular, I will seek to be part of a Bible Study Sunday School or other group where I may better learn to follow Christ.
  
  
• I COMMIT MYSELF TO THE WORK OF THE GREAT COMMISSION
  I will tell my friends about the Lord Jesus Christ and the difference he has made in my life, and I will invite them to come and also be a part of Advent.
  
  
• I COMMIT MYSELF TO PARTICIPATION IN THE LIFE OF ADVENT
  I will actively discover and use my spiritual gifts to serve others as part of Advent. I promise to respect the feelings and opinions of the other members of Advent and not spread gossip or rumor. Finally, I promise to find some place in Advent where I can work and share as part of Advent.
  
  
• I COMMIT MYSELF TO CARING RELATIONSHIPS
  I promise to show unconditional love toward the other members of our Church. As one who is determined to show the love of God to other members, I will maintain moral purity toward its members, sacrificially attempt to meet legitimate needs of members, and demonstrate a life of faith, hope, and love toward others. In particular, I promise to try to be a part of a Circle of Concern or other small group.
  
  
• I COMMIT TO JOYFUL GIVING TO THE WORK OF CHRIST
  I will share the material wealth God has given me in the service of the Kingdom at Advent.

If you are considering joining Advent as a member, you should be able to answer YES to the following questions:

• Do you believe in a personal God who created and sustains all things?
• Do you believe that human beings in general, and yourself in particular, are spiritually and morally flawed?
• Do you believe that God has acted to undo the effects of sin (spritual and moral flaws) by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth?
• Do you accept Jesus of Nazareth as your Lord (the one you will follow) and Savior (the one you will rely upon to undo the effects of sin in your life)?
• Do you commit yourself to a life of discipleship as part of a local body of believers (a church) who are trying to live on the basis of God's love shown in Jesus Christ?
• Do you hope for eternal life in fellowship with God and believe in the ultimate victory of God over sin and death?
