Marriage in This Church
Recommendation of Deacons
We believe God created every soul on this earth.
We believe God is the judge of each of us.
We believe we do not have the right to judge others.
We respect each person’s personal relationship with God. And we respect our differences among the congregation. Therefore, we engaged in prayerful discernment.
We believe the invitation on the church sign out front is Jesus Christ’s invitation to each soul on this earth to come to Him.
We believe this sanctuary is God’s sanctuary.
The Deacons recommend that this council and this congregation acknowledge and support that the sole basis for qualification for marriage in this church be the applicants’ faith in Jesus Christ; AND acknowledge and support the Pastor of this church as the person charged with discernment of qualification for marriage in this church AND, providing all legal qualifications are met, that Pastor’s sole basis for discernment be the applicants’ faith in Jesus Christ.
