We teach that the church is the body of Jesus here on earth and is made up of professing christians everywhere. (Matthew 16:13-18, 1 Corinthians 12:12-13)  The church is governed and led by elders, leaders and shepherds. (1 Timothy 3:1-7, 1 Peter 5:1-4) The church is supported by its members through serving, generosity and living on mission. (1 Corinthians 12:12, 27; Malachi 3:9-12)

We teach that God has created each of us uniquely as male and female. His intent is for marriage to be a monogamous, lifelong loving relationship between a man and a woman.  We teach that His design for sex is exclusively within the context of a Biblical marriage.  The husband and wife relationship is a beautiful reflection of the relationship between Jesus and the church. (Genesis 1:27-28,Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6; Ephesians 5:22-33)
