Loyalty involves commitment to all the ministries of the denomination. Since leaders should be role models, all those in leadership in the local church, the quadrennial conference, and the general church should set an example by their faithfulness in supporting the ministries of the church. Loyalty involves attendance at the gatherings of the church. Loyalty involves financial support. This applies to local church members, quadrennial conferences, and all other individuals and entities of the church.
Loyalty involves affirmation.
The morale of the church requires the positive affirmation of the leadership and ministries of the denomination. Neither is this Covenant of Commitment to be considered an exhaustive statement concerning a biblical lifestyle. The Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is our complete and final authority. A careful, conscientious, and continual study of God's Word will reveal to the believer a growing understanding of what it means to live worthy of our calling in Christ Jesus. There are times when, in spite of every effort to nurture and restore a member, no alternative but excommunication can be found.
