How We Live Our Faith

Marriage
We believe that marriage between one man and one woman offers us a clear vision of healthy human sexuality. All sexual activity outside of this pattern finally draws us away from God, including infidelity of all kinds, pornography, promiscuity, etc. 
Gender
We believe our identity as male and female is given to us by God for our good and cannot be changed. His original design brings joy, fulfillment, and meaning. We grieve the pervasive brokenness and confusion that surrounds human sexual identity and seek to exercise compassion in our relationships with all people. 
Predestination & the Freedom of the Will
When the Bible uses words like predestination, it does so to grant ultimate credit to God as the author of our salvation. So while we freely and willfully sin against God, in Christ we are saved by grace alone through faith alone, which must always include our response in repentance and conversion.
The Role of Women in Ministry
We believe the testimony of scripture not only permits women to serve in the offices of pastor and deacon but confirms this with examples by name. In this regard, the early church was bold in overturning the cultural norms of its day, and we are similarly confident, and grateful, that God equips women to serve the current church too, as He has for generations past.
