We believe that the local gathering of believers, known as the church, is Christ’s body meant to impact the world with the message of Jesus. Its primary function is to share life together, which includes encouraging one another, serving our community and worshipping regularly.
Acts 2:42-47
We believe that scripture calls for male leadership in the church.
The roles of bishop/elder, deacon, pastor, pulpit minister, and worship leaders (preacher, song leader, etc.) are to be filled by males.
The roles of ministry leaders and/or staff can be filled by both men and women.

Ephesians 5:18-21; 1 Corinthians 6:14; 7:1
We believe that from the beginning, God created male and female and established marriage as a lifelong union, a sacred covenant between one man and one woman. Further, the marriage relationship mirrors the relationship between Christ and the church. The world promotes alternate views which are not in accordance with God’s word. We believe all relationships are to be governed by our submission first to Christ and then to each other in love out of reverence for Christ.
Genesis 1:26-28; 2:19-25; Ephesians 5:21-33; Matthew 22:37-40
