Statement of Faith 

We believe God’s precious plan for sexuality is exclusively within marriage, between a man and a woman.  Furthermore, we believe that any form of adultery, homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, pedophilia, and pornography are sinful perversions of God’s gift of sex and against the clear teachings of Scripture.  We also believe that God disapproves and forbids any attempt to alter one’s gender by surgery or appearance.  We believe that a man or woman who chooses to engage in any of these types of behaviors has done so of their own accord and are in direct violation of God’s perfect plan for human sexuality.  (Genesis 2:18; Genesis 2:24-25; Leviticus 20: 10-21; Romans 1:20-32; Hebrews 13:4)  

We believe in the sanctity of human life, which we believe begins at conception.  We believe that God alone is the giver and taker of life.  Furthermore, we stand opposed to man’s intervention in God’s sovereignty which has taken the form of abominations such as abortion, euthanasia, genetic cloning, as well as other deviations from God’s perfect creation plan.  (Exodus 21:12-14; Leviticus 24:17,20; Psalm 22:9-10; Psalm 71:6; Psalm 139:13-16; Proverbs 6:16-19; Jeremiah 1:5; Isaiah 44:24; Isaiah 49:5; Matthew 18:6)  

We believe that God’s precious gift of salvation is received by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone.  We reject any and all cults and their followers that teach and/or profess anything contrary to this teaching.  (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6; Acts 4:12) 

We believe that Christians are prohibited from bringing civil lawsuits against other Christians or the church to resolve personal disputes.  We believe the church possesses all the resources  necessary to resolve personal disputes between members.  We do believe, however, that a Christian may seek compensation for injuries from another Christian’s insurance company as long as the claim is pursued without malice or slander (1 Corinthians 6:1-8; Ephesians 4:31-32)
