Must agree to the following statement: A wedding is a statement to the world. The couple is proclaiming their lives are now one. They are also proclaiming their faith to God and faithfulness to one another. The church has celebrated this proclamation as a people of faith for centuries. We believe marriage is a gift from God. Marriage is a multifaceted relationship that is above mere personal fulfillment. Through marriage God conveys the connection between Christ and the church. Therefore, God’s design for marriage is much more than pleasure or even happiness. It is for a woman and a man to grow in the reflection of Christ. God also designed marriage for the procreation to establish families. The best construct for the healthy development of a child is the home where both mother and father live (Waite & Gallagher, 2000). Ideally, each contributes something unique and vital to the formation of the family. This is supported by scholastic empirical research.

We believe God designed men and women differently for the sake of a specific connection and equal partnership. We believe that gender differences are intentional to help individuals grow in their own personal development as well as equal partners. We believe we have a choice in following God’s design, which we realize is in direct opposition to the beliefs of current culture. We do not consider this Biblical view of marriage to be a reflection of hate toward any specific people group. Rather, it is a reflection of the love we have for God as our creator, and our willingness to trust God’s design over any other voice that would oppose that design. We state this in the abundance of His love for you and your family.
