Excerpt from The Confession of Faith, Covenant, Principles of Discipline and Practice, and List of Members of the First Congregational Church, in Pittsfield, Mass;, June 1, 1866
Beloved friends - You have presented yourselves before God, and his people, and the world, to make a solemn confession of your religious faith, and to take upon you everlasting obligations. We trust you have duly considered the nature of the profession you are about to make, and of the engagements into which you are about to enter. They will be heard on high, and will be exhibited on your trial at the last day.
Yet be not overwhelmed. If you are sincerely desirous to be the Lord's - to believe all his declarations, and to obey all his commands, he will compassionate your weakness - will make you wise by his wisdom and strong by his power, and will conduct you safe to his heavenly kingdom.
Having examined and assented to the Articles of Faith adopted by this Church, you will now profess the same before these wit nesses.
