Ministry Highlight
By Annette Reich
The story of America’s founding begins in 1620, when a small band of Pilgrims sailed across the Atlantic seeking freedom to worship God. Their very first political document, the Mayflower Compact, was written aboard the Mayflower, and reveals the Christian covenantal foundation that would shape the nation. The Pilgrims bound themselves together in the Mayflower Compact “for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith.” In the name of God, Amen.
The Mayflower Compact
We whose names are underwritten, the loyal Subjects of our dread sovereign Lord King James, by the grace of God of Great Britain, France, and Ireland King, Defender of the Faith, &c. Having undertaken for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian Faith, and honor of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the first Colony in the Northern parts of Virginia; do by these presents solemnly and mutually, in the presence of God and one another, covenant, and combine ourselves together into a civil body politick, for our better ordering and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof do enact, constitute, and frame such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, acts, constitutions, and offices from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the Colony; unto which we promise all due submission and obedience. In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape Cod the 11. of November, in the year of the reign of our sovereign Lord King James, of England, France, and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth, Anno Domini 1620.
This was the first governing document in America and was framed as a covenant before God. So, as you celebrate America’s birthday this year, and someone questions whether America began as a Christian nation, point them to the Mayflower Compact!
