We commit ourselves to the practice of celibacy in singleness and fidelity in Christian marriage which we affirm as a sacred union between one woman and one man.
We condemn any form of harassment or abuse.
We covenant with each other to maintain an alcohol, tobacco, and drug free environment with respect to all seminary facilities, events, and activities.
We stand with all Christians, both past and present, against the misuse of all substances that abuse the body, foster addiction, and bring harm to others.

Please share at least one meaningful experience that occurred in the past year as a result of this community of believers (whether communing online or in person).
