The Church:

  • Each congregation operates under the Lordship of Christ through democratic processes.
  • While both men and woman are gifted for service in the church, the office of Pastor is limited to men as qualified by Scripture.

The Family:

  • Marriage is the uniting of ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN in covenant commitment for a lifetime.
  • The husband and wife are of equal worth before God, since both are created in God's image.
