About Bay Shore - Bond of Union

The Bay Shore Community Congregational Church Bond of Union is a distinctive statement of our common faith and union in Christian service. It is often quoted in our worship services and by our members as a unique and compelling statement that binds us together as a congregation.

Our Bond of Union in this church is a common loyalty to Jesus Christ.

We believe that the Lord’s whole requirement is to do justly, to love kindness, and walk humbly with God.

We cherish for each person the fullest liberty in the interpretation of the truth, and we gladly grant others the freedom we claim for ourselves.

We promise, as members of this church, to walk together as Christians, seeking to live according to the spirit and teachings of Jesus, as revealed in the Holy Scriptures.

In the quest of truth and in the spirit of Jesus, we unite for the worship of God and the service of humanity.
