  1. THE INSTITUTION OF THE HOME
  • Life begins in the womb.
    Jeremiah 1:5, Psalm 139:13, 16
  • Marriage is between a man and a woman only.
    Genesis 2:18-25, Proverbs 5:18-19, 1 Corinthians 7:1 16

God Himself created and instituted marriage as the holy union between one man and one woman, according to the Holy Scriptures. No other form of union or marriage is acceptable in the eyes of God or by this corporation/church.

“But from the beginning of the creation, God “made them male and female.’ “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” (Mark 10:6-9 NKJV).

  • Children are a heritage from the Lord and are to be brought up scripturally.
    Psalm 127:3, Proverbs 22:6
  • The husband is the head of the home, and he must give an account to Christ.
    Ephesians 5:22-23, Colossians 3:18-19
