Theology and good works don’t save us. Jesus saves.
You don't need to hold all of our views to attend our church or to be loved by God. But, we do have beliefs and convictions that we care about and believe in. We will preach, teach, and lead from these. As long as you are okay with that, then so are we.
We believe God has ordained marriage and defined it as a covenantal relationship between one man & one woman for life. So, we only recognize marriage between a biological man and a biological woman. As a result, Resurrection Church only facilitates weddings and the solemnization of marriages between one man and one woman (Gen. 2:24; Matt. 19:4; Eph. 5:25; 1 Pet. 3:7).
We understand that we have LGBTQ+ neighbors, friends, and family members. We believe they have the same value, dignity, and worth all humans have, and should be treated with immense love and kindness. However, we believe humans are called to live as God intended both with gender & marriage.
We believe that the Bible is God's word. When we read and preach the Bible, God is speaking to us. We believe the Bible is inspired (God wrote it through humans), inerrant (without big "E" errors), and infallible (it doesn't deceive us). We believe that the Bible is our lens to view culture and not the other way around. Here is an article we like on this topic.
We believe that God created humans as "embodied souls." This means you are more than just a body, but that your body is intricately connected to who you are as a person. The Bible says that from the beginning God created two separate and distinct biological sexes: male and female. He said this was “very good.” Scripture does not permit any difference between biological sex and gender identity. Any attempt to misconstrue the difference between male/female and/or biological sex/gender identity is a rejection of God’s created order and an attempt to self-create, which is sin. We also acknowledge that there are rare instances where people are born with an indiscriminate biological sex. Yet, these cases do not involve an attempt to self-create nor deny the dignity of how they were born (Gen. 1:26-27; Matt. 19:4; Mark 10:6-7; Psalm 139:14).
We understand that we have LGBTQ+ neighbors, friends, and family members. We believe they have the same value, dignity, and worth all humans have, and should be treated with immense love and kindness. However, we believe humans are called to live as God intended both with gender & marriage.
