Covenant
of MCC New Haven
We, the members of MCC New Haven, do now earnestly
covenant with God and each other, that:
- We will strive always to discern and do God’s will as
revealed to us in the life of Jesus, the witness of scripture
and other inspired writings, and in our personal experience of
God’s love in our lives.
- We will esteem the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community
Churches, supporting its ministries and desiring its unity in
the faith and knowledge of God.
- We will honor our responsibility to this local church, attending
faithfully the services of worship and other meetings, working
and praying for its harmony, the deepening of its spiritual life
and for its prosperity, giving cheerfully of our time, abilities
and financial means for the carrying on of a ministry in this
community and throughout the world.
- We will seek the end of all forms of human oppression, especially
the oppression of lesbians, bisexuals, transgendered folk and
gay men, striving for universal dignity.
- We will walk together in love, watching over and caring for
one another, sharing each other’s joys and bearing each
other’s burdens, being always slow to take offense and quick
to make reconciliation.
- We will cultivate in ourselves and in our family and friends
a deeper understanding of our faith through study and worship.
- We will seek to lead lives which reflect the Christ within
us, that we might commend our faith to others, being faithful
servants of God.
