We believe that God created marriage to be exclusively the union of one biological man and one biological woman, and that intimate sexual activity is to occur exclusively within that union. Further, the marriage relationship is a depiction of the intimate relationship that God shares with his church and is therefore holy and sacred in God’s eyes. Because God has ordained marriage and defined it as the covenant relationship between a biological man, a biological woman, and Himself, the Church will only recognize marriages between a biological man and a biological woman. Further, the elders / ministers / staff / and members shall only participate in weddings and solemnize marriages between one biological man and one biological woman. Finally, the facilities and property of the church shall only host weddings between one biological man and one biological woman.
Genesis 2:18-25; Ephesians 5:22-33

We believe that all humankind that has reached an age of awareness, have sinned and fallen short of God’s demand for holiness. Because of our sin, the consequence is death. There had to be a sacrifice for that sin to meet the demands of the law. God, in his infinite love and mercy sent his Son to be that sacrifice.
Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, 2 Corinthians 5:21

We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in the gospel. God showed us His grace through Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection. It is this message, the gospel, that calls people to believe in God’s power to save, turn from their sins, confess Jesus as Lord, and be immersed in water, reenacting the death, burial and resurrection, thus being “Born Again” to new life. This is the message that was preached in the first century beginning with Acts 2 and how the people responded to this message.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 6:1-6; Acts 2; Galatians 3:26-27

We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. (Acts 3:19-21; Rom 10:9-10; 1 Cor 6:9-11.) We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31.) 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.

We believe that the saved make up God’s universal family called the church. While on earth, Jesus predicted He would build His church. The church is simply those individuals who by faith are saved. When one is born again one becomes part of this unique “called out” group of people.
Matthew 16:16, Ephesians 3:14-21

We believe that Jesus will return some day. In the meantime, we live expectantly for Jesus' triumphal return. When Jesus returns all of God's people both alive and dead will be gloriously transformed.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 1 Peter 1:3-5, 1 Cor. 15:51-54

We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. (Gen 1:26-27.) Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person. We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one biological man and one biological woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. (Gen 2:18-25.) We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a biological man and a biological woman who are married to each other. (1 Cor 6:18; 7:2-5; Heb 13:4.)

We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. (Acts 3:19-21; Rom 10:9-10; 1 Cor 6:9-11.) We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31.) 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.
