- We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged In outside of a marriage between one naturally-born man and one naturally-born woman. We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery, polygamy, and pornography are sinful perversions of God’s gift of sex. We believe that God disapproves of and forbids any attempt to alter one’s gender by surgery or appearance.(Gen. 2:24, 19:5,13, 26:8-9; Lev. 18:1-30; Rom. 1:26-29; I Cor. 5:1, 6:9 I Thes. 4:1-8; Heb. 13:4)
- We believe that the only Scriptural marriage is the joining of one naturally-born man and one naturally-born woman for life. (Gen, 2:24; Rom, 7:2; I Cor 7:10; Eph. 5:22-23)
- In keeping with our beliefs regarding human sexuality as expressed in this statement of faith and in keeping with our purpose as expressed in Section 1.02, we will have the following practical policies: a. All people are welcome to attend our regular services. b. Those who attend may not display behavior that is indicative of the sinful behaviors listed in (L)(1) of this section in church services, at church functions, and on the church grounds. c. Church members are not to display overt disrespect for those who are involved in the sinful behaviors listed in (L)(1) of this section. d. The pastor of the church will preach consistently against all forms of sinful behavior, including those listed in (L)(1) of this section.
