The Antioch-Lithonia Missionary Baptist Church exists to glorify God by pursuing excellence in all that we do, for the expressed purposes of winning souls and leading each member to become a fully committed, fully equipped, completely devoted follower of Jesus Christ.

Having been led, as we believe by the Spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour and, on the profession of our faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we do now, in the presence of God and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another as one body in Christ.

We pledge, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit
To walk together in Christian love;
To strive for the advancement of this church in knowledge, holiness, and comfort;
To promote its prosperity and spirituality;
To sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline, and doctrines;
To contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the Gospel through all nations.

We also promise
To maintain family and private devotions;
To religiously educate our children;
To seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances;
To walk circumspectly in the world;
To be just in our dealings, faithful in our engagements, and exemploary in our deportment;
To avoid all tattling, backbiting, and excessive anger;
To refuse to sell or to use intoxicating drinks as a beverage;
To be zealous in our efforts to advance the kingdom of our Saviour.

We further pledge
To watch over one another in brotherly love;
To remember one another in prayer;
To aid one another in sickness and distress;
To cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and Christian courtesy in speech;
To be slow to take offence, but always ready for reconciliation, and mindful of the rules of our Savior, to secure it without delay.

We, moreover, promise that when we move from this place, we will, as soon as possible, join some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God’s Word.

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, our Lord;
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of Virgin Mary;
Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;  He descended into hell;
The third day He rose again from the dead; 
He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost;
The Holy, universal church; the fellowship of the Saints;
The forgiveness of sins;
The resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting.  Amen
