The Eternal State 1. We believe that God created the universe in six literal, 24-hour periods. God has given each institution specific Biblical responsibilities and balanced those responsibilities with the understanding that no institution has the right to infringe upon the other. We believe that God intends marriage to last until one of the spouses dies. We believe that human life begins at conception and that the unborn child is a living human being.
Abortion constitutes the unjustified, unexcused taking of unborn human life.
We believe that abortion is murder. We believe that God has given the church a Great Commission to proclaim the Gospel to all nations so that there might be a great multitude from every nation, tribe, ethnic group, and language group who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that every Christian, as a steward of that portion of God's wealth entrusted to him, out of love for God and the church should support his local church financially. We believe that God has established in the Old Testament the tithe as a basis for giving, but that every Christian should also give other offerings sacrificially and cheerfully to the support of the Church, the relief of those in need, and the spread of the Gospel.
