*A. Holy Living*
1. We believe in the necessity of living a consistent Christian life marked by obedience to God's Word, holiness, and evidencing godly spiritual fruit (Matthew 28:20; John 14:21; I Peter 1:15,16; Hebrews 12:14; Galatians 5:22,23).
2. We believe in the necessity to abstain from a lifestyle which would bring reproach to the Lord, to include separation from all religious apostasy, idolatry, and the world's sinful pleasures, practices, and associations, as commanded by God (Acts 15:28,29; 16:4; 21:25; Romans 12:1,2; II Corinthians 6:14-17; II Timothy 3:1-5; I John 2:15-17; II John 9-11).
3. Regarding sexuality, we also believe that any form of fornication, including, but not limited to, homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, adultery and pornography are sinful perversions of God's gift of sex (Leviticus 18:1-30; I Corinthians 6:9-11).
*B. Marriage*
1. We believe in the institution of marriage, as designed by God the Creator, to be a lifelong union between one man and one woman, and that God hates divorce (Genesis 2:18, 20-24; I Corinthians 5:1; Hebrews 13:4; Malachi 2:14-16; Matthew 19:1-6).
We also believe that cohabitation or sexual intimacy outside of the marriage relationship is a form of fornication, (I Corinthians 6:9-11; I Thessalonians 4:1-8).
2. We do not recognize and will not solemnize same-sex marraiges. We recognize that same-sex marriage violates the divine ideal and that homosexual behavior is clearly and consistently condemned in Scripture as unnatural and immoral (Leviticus 18:1-30; Genesis 19:5,13; Romans 1:26-32).
*C. Sanctity of Human Life*
We believe that life is a gift from God and is precious. We believe God's Word teaches that life begins at conception, that the unborn child is a human being, and that God has alloted our life span according to this plan for each of us.
Therefore, abortion and euthanasia are examples of constituting the unjustified taking of human life. (II Samuel 19; Job 3:16; Psalm 31:15a; 51:5; 127:3; 139:14-16; Isaiah 44:24; 49:1-5; Jeremiah 1:5; 20:15-18; Matthew 10:29-31; Luke 1:44; Acts 17:25).
*D. Missions*
We believe that God has given the Church the Great Commission to proclaim the Gospel to all the world and to every creature so that there might be a great multitude from every nation, tribe, ethnic and language group who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
As ambassadors of Christ, we must take the initiative to reach all peoples at home and abroad with the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19,20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:46-48; John 20:21; Acts 1:8; II Corinthians 5:20).
*E. Financial Stewardship*
We believe that every Christian is a steward of that portion on God's wealth entrusted to him and is obligated to financially support his local church and the Great Commission.
We believe that God has established the tithe as a mode for supporting the local church, but that every Christian should also willingly give offerings cheerfully and sacrificially to support the spread of the Gospel and relief for those in need. We further hold that a contributor relinquishes all rights to direct the use of his tithe or offering once the gift has been made
(Genesis 14:20; Proverbs 3:9,10; Malachi 3:6,8-10; Matthew 23:23; Acts 4:34-37; I Corinthians 16:2; II Corinthians 9:6,7; Galatians 6:6-10; Ephesians 4:28; I Timothy 5:17-18; I John 3:17).
