Marriage is not for lust or performance. It’s a ministry.

We Teach:
No sex before marriage. We advocate for a commitment to purity and patience, believing that intimacy is a sacred bond reserved for the lifelong covenant of marriage. This approach fosters deeper emotional connections and builds trust, laying a solid foundation for a lasting partnership.
No shacking up. We believe in the importance of clearly defined commitment. Living together before marriage often blurs the lines of responsibility and commitment, which can lead to instability. We encourage couples to make a full, public commitment through marriage before sharing a home.
No unequally yoked partnerships. This principle emphasizes the importance of shared core values and spiritual alignment in a relationship. When partners are fundamentally aligned in their beliefs and life's purpose, they are better equipped to navigate challenges and grow together, creating a harmonious and resilient union.
Wives must be treated with honor, and husbands must be the spiritual head. This speaks to a model of marriage built on mutual respect and distinct, yet complementary, roles. It calls for husbands to lovingly lead with wisdom and integrity, guiding their families spiritually, while wives are cherished and esteemed as invaluable partners. This framework promotes a balanced and respectful dynamic within the marital relationship.
Matthew 7:24-25
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because its foundation was on the rock."
