1. The Purpose of Humanity

The Church is God’s chosen instrument to extend His kingdom on earth before Christ returns.

Key Scriptures: Matthew 16:18; Ephesians 1:20–23; Ephesians 3:10

19. Church Membership and Authority

Believers are called to be committed to a local church for spiritual growth, accountability, and protection.

Sexual intimacy is reserved for the covenant of marriage. Any sexual activity outside of biblical marriage is sin.

God created each person male or female. This identity is sacred and not subject to change by human choice.

26. Our Stance as a Church
