We believe that God created humanity male and female, equal in dignity yet different in function; exclusively set apart marriage as a covenant between one male and one female for companionship, sexual intimacy, procreation, and reflection of Christ’s love for the Church; and any deviation from the Creator’s commands is sinful, including but not limited to adultery, homosexuality, and
transgenderism. (Genesis 1:26-31; Genesis 2:1-2:25; Matthew 5:27-30; Romans 1:16-32; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11;
Ephesians 5:22-33)
