Definitions
* Family –Definition of the family is grounded in our belief that scripture (Bible)
teaches us that a
family is the union of one man and one woman lawfully
married, and
includes their children, be that by natural birth or adoption, which
God has placed into that family unit. Our definition further includes those
parents who are
widowed, are single parents, or have blended families. The key
to our definition
is the Biblical understanding of marriage, a lawful union
between a man and a
woman. Our definition of family does not
include those
who are not legally
married or who society defines as domestic partners.
* Bible- Believing Church –We understand the term “Bible-Believing” to
mean
that the church
accepts the Bible as the true word of God, infallible, and without
error. We also understand that the church doesn’t
put any other writings above
the authority of
the Bible or on the same level (importance) as the Bible. We
further understand
that the Bible is used in this church to instruct its members
how to live and walk the Christian
lifestyle.
