God designed marriage to be a monogamous, permanent, committed relationship between a male and a female. This divine design is the standard that defines appropriate sexual expression and is beautifully mirrored in the holy union between Christ and His Church. Marriage is the God-ordained context for the sexual union between a male and a female and is blessed with life-giving potential by God Himself. We believe, in joyful obedience to the Bible, that God created human sexuality and marriage as a glorious sign of His never-ending love. We praise and worship God for this magnificent blessing.

Tragically, with the entrance of sin into the world, humanity has distorted God’s design for human sexuality and marriage. All humanity now struggles with immoral desires and temptations to act in a way that is contrary to God’s purposes for human flourishing. Nevertheless, God responds with gracious and merciful love to identify sinful expressions of human sexuality.
