While it is recognized that a covenant is not a creed, it does express the commitments of those who accept it, and is a living expression of their commitments and relationships to each other.
--Rev. Bob Thompson, 2005
Lake Street Church Covenant
We stand together in celebration of the divine that moves within, among, and around us.
​
As a spiritual community, we affirm our kinship with the earth and all of its people.
​
Our covenant with one another is rooted in the Christian tradition and the living practice of Jesus to welcome the excluded and care for the vulnerable.
​
We are connected by our respect for soul liberty, which challenges us to embody God in the world each in our own way.
​
We seek to be transformed as we awake to the hidden wholeness of life.
​
We promise to be mutually helpful one to the other, bearing one another's burdens, participating in one another's joys, and supporting the church community that nurtures us all.
​
We promise to make this church a womb of contemplation and action so as to clarify our vision and strengthen our resolve to act against injustice and for peace.
​
We promise to be stewards of the earth, sustaining it for future generations by cultivating self-discipline and gratitude.
​
We pray together to love justice, act kindly and walk humbly with God.
