The Pilgrims formed a covenant community through their shared religious beliefs and commitment to creating a society based on mutual respect and cooperation. Upon arriving in America, they established the Mayflower Compact, which outlined their intention to govern themselves and work together for the common good. This agreement reflected their understanding of a covenant with God and each other, emphasizing accountability, community values, and the importance of maintaining order and harmony in their new settlement. Their collective faith and governance structure laid the foundation for a cohesive and resilient community.

Yes, in general Puritan groups did baptize infants under the assumption that early baptism was a "half-way covenant" with God that included the child in the Faith community much the same way Circumcision was a mark of community membership in the Old Testament.

A baptismal covenant is a sacred agreement made between an individual and God during the baptismal ceremony. It typically involves the individual committing to follow the teachings of Christ, live a life of faith, and uphold the values of their religious community. In return, it signifies God's promise of grace, forgiveness, and the gift of the Holy Spirit. This covenant is a foundational aspect of many Christian denominations, symbolizing the individual's entry into the faith community.
