FAMILY MATTERS AND RELATIONSHIPS

We believe that men and women are spiritually equal in position before God but  that God has ordained distinct and separate spiritual functions for men and  women in the home and the church.

The husband is to be the  leader of the home, and men are to be the leaders (pastors and deacons) of the  church. Accordingly, only men are eligible for licensure and ordination by the  church.

We believe that God has ordained the family as the  foundational institution of human society.  The husband is to love his wife as Christ loves the church. The wife is to submit herself to the  scriptural leadership of her husband as the church submits to the headship of Christ.  Children are an  heritage from the Lord. Parents are responsible for teaching their children spiritual and moral values  and leading them, through consistent
lifestyle example and appropriate discipline, including scriptural  corporal correction.

(Gal. 3:28; Col. 3:18; 1 Tim. 2:8-15; 3:4-5, 12)
