The Church – God’s people
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Life – God is for it
This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

This statement of beliefs does not exhaust the extent of our religious beliefs. As the inspired and infallible Word of God, the Bible speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of human affairs.

Our Statement of Belief regarding Sanctity of Life
We believe all matters of faith and conduct must be evaluated based on the Holy Scripture, our inspired, infallible, and inerrant guide (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Because the Holy Scripture speaks to creation and human life, it is imperative that we correctly understand, articulate, and abide by what the Holy Scripture teaches us on this matter.
We believe every human life is sacred because God has created mankind in His image and that human life begins at fertilization. We believe every human life must be recognized, respected, and protected as having the rights of a person and the inviolable right to life.
God creates each person's inmost being, knitting each person together in his mother's womb. (Psalm 139:13) As God's individualized and personal creation, each person is fearfully and wonderfully made. (Psalm 139:14) God has ordained all the days of each person's life before they came to be. (Psalm 139:16)
We are firmly committed to the preservation and defense of unborn human life, which compels our religious, moral, and ethical duty to defend unborn human life.
Our statement of belief regarding Marriage, Gender, and Sexuality
We believe all matters of faith and conduct must be evaluated based on Holy Scripture, our infallible guide. (2 Timothy 3:16-17) Since the Holy Bible does speak to the nature of human beings and their sexuality, it is imperative that we correctly understand, articulate, and abide by what the Bible teaches on these matters.
We believe that God created mankind in His image: male and female, sexually different but with equal personal dignity. We believe that individuals should affirm their biological sex and refrain from any attempts to physically change, alter, or disagree with their biological sex. (Genesis 1:26-28; Romans 1:26-32; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11)
We are committed to the home and family as outlined in Holy Scripture. We believe God has ordained marriage to exist between one man and one woman, with absolute marital fidelity. Consequently, we believe that individuals should refrain from any sexual conduct or acts outside of this marital relationship. (Genesis 1:27; Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4-6; Mark 10:5-9; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11; Ephesians 5:25-27; Revelation 19:7-9; Revelation 21:2)
Our firm conviction is that we uphold each individual's dignity while embracing the unchanging and longstanding principles of scriptural truth.
