A. We believe that God instituted the family, and that He did so for many important purposes, none of which is more important than to communicate to the next generation through word and example the truth of the gospel of grace in Christ.
B. We believe that the Bible is our primary source of guidance for family life, including marriage and childrearing (e.g. Eph. 5:22-6:4).
C. We believe that marriage is a precious gift of and a high calling by God and should therefore be nourished, protected and supported by the family, the church, and the society. The church has a special role in marriages and families through instruction, prayer, counseling, encouragement, and accountability.
D. We believe the church must reflect Jesus’ attitude toward children, welcoming, embracing, and blessing them. (Matt. 19:13-15)
E. We believe education of children is the responsibility of parents, and choices must be made before Christ, and according to a conscience which is informed by the word of God. We urge believers to avoid being judgmental of one another regarding these choices, for each must stand before His own Master (Romans 14:4). The church is committed to supporting the parents as they make educational decisions and strive to raise their children in the instruction and nurture of the Lord.
F. We believe it is important for the church to help its young people to realize that it is their church, and that their gifts and energies are needed just like everyone else’s, and to help young people discover their spiritual gifts and find ways to use them in the body, and to train the next generation to become leaders in the church.
G. We believe it is healthy and important for the young people of the church to establish a network of Christian friendships which will point them to and support them in the way of the Lord as they grow into adults and leave home.
