Membership covenant
Signers read this text in the form before they accept it. Edit the bracketed details to match your business, and have the wording reviewed for your situation.
Please read this before you sign.
This covenant is between [Church name] (the "Church") and the member named in this form.
- Faith. I share the beliefs in the Church's [statement of faith] and want to grow in them.
- Worship. I will take part in worship and church life as regularly as I can.
- Serve. I will use my gifts to serve others in the Church and the community.
- Unity. I will care for other members, speak kindly, and work through conflict as [process or bylaws section] describes.
- Leadership. I will support the Church's leaders and follow the [bylaws or membership guide].
- Membership. Membership continues until I ask to leave or the Church's leaders end it under the bylaws.
By signing below, I confirm that I have read this covenant and want to become a member.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a general membership form?
It asks church questions: how long they've attended, their faith journey, baptism status, membership class and where they'd like to serve, with a signed covenant.
Can I use my own membership covenant?
Yes. Replace the sample terms with your church's covenant or bylaws language. It's a sample to start from, not legal advice.
Can a whole family join on one form?
Yes. One adult signs, and the household question lists the spouse and children joining with them.
