Due to the challenges that confront the Christian church in today’s culture, we also have established clear position
statements as to who is responsible for determining biblical authority for our church; membership and church discipline;
marriage, sexuality, and gender; employment (including discipline of employees and volunteers), and the sanctity of
human life. We will provide those position statements upon request.
