We believe that God has established marriage as a lifelong, exclusive relationship between one man and one woman and that all intimate sexual activity outside the marriage relationship, whether heterosexual, homosexual, or otherwise, is immoral and, therefore, sinful.
(Genesis 2:24-25; Exodus 20:14, 17; 22:19; Leviticus 18:22-23, 20:13, 15:16, Matthew 19:4-6, 9; Romans 1:18-31; I Corinthians 6:9-10, 15-20; I Timothy 1:8-11; Jude 7).
We believe that God created the human race, male and female and that all conduct with the intent to adopt a gender other than one’s birth gender is immoral and, therefore, sin. (Genesis 1:27; Deuteronomy 22:5). “Marriage is a biblical institution established by God as described by Scripture. (Gen.2:22-25; Matt. 19:5,6)
We believe that biblical marriage can only occur between one man and one woman. This church recognizes that marriage is uniting one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime. Accordingly, this church, its Pastors, staff, and members will not participate in same-sex unions or same-sex marriages, nor shall its property or resources be used for such purposes.” The Bible teaches that legitimate sexual relations are exercised solely within marriage (Ex.20:17; Gen.1:27,28; Mark. 10:6-8; Ex.20:14; 1Cor.6:18; 1Cor.6:9-10; Gal.5:19; Matt.5:28). Hence, this church opposes all forms of sexual immorality, including adultery, extramarital behavior, homosexual behavior, and pornography.”
We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning: marriage sanctioned by God, which joins one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. (Mark.10:6-8; Gen. 2:22-25; Gen.1:27,28; Matt.19:5,6)
We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to only occur between a man and a woman who are married to each other. We believe God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged outside marriage between a man and a woman. (1Cor.7:2,3; Gen.2:24; Gen.1:27,28)
We believe that any form of sexual immorality, such as adultery, fornication, homosexuality, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, pornography, or any attempt to change one’s sex or disagreement with one’s biological sex, is sinful and offensive to God.” (Ex.22:19; Lev.18:23; 1Cor.6:18; Ep.5:3; Matt.5:28; Ex.20:14; Prov.6:32; 1Cor.6:18-20; 1Cor.6:9-11; Lev.20:13; Lev.18:6-18; Deut.27:22; Deut.22:5; Gen.1:27; Rom.1:24-27; Ps.139:13-14)
We believe that to preserve the function and integrity of the church as the local Body of Christ and to provide a biblical role model to the church members and the community, it is imperative that all persons employed by the church in any capacity or who serve as volunteers, should abide by and agree to this statement on marriage and sexuality and conduct themselves accordingly.
We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and
forsake their sin, seeking his mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ.”
We believe everyone must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with scripture nor the doctrines of the church.”
