We believe that God hates divorce and intends marriage between a man and a woman to last until one of the spouses dies. Divorce and remarriage is regarded as adultery except on the grounds of fornication. Although previously divorced and remarried persons, or previously divorced persons, may join the Church after repenting of same and hold positions of service in the Church and be greatly used of God for Christian service, they may not be considered for the offices of pastor or deacon. 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.
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 Christians are prohibited from bringing civil lawsuits against other Christians or the Church to resolve personal disputes. We believe the Church possesses all the resources necessary to resolve disputes between members. We believe that every Christian, as a steward of that portion of God's wealth entrusted to him, is obligated to support his local Church financially. We believe that God has established 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.
