Divorce and Remarriage
The only acceptable ground for divorce is adultery. We take people as they come and leave their history to God — we exist to help and to heal in the name of Jesus Christ.
Christ addressed divorce directly, and we teach it as He taught it. The only acceptable ground for divorce is adultery.
What we do
We perform remarriages only where the prior marriage was dissolved on the ground Christ named.
We do not investigate or probe the lives of those who come to us. We exist to help and to heal in the name of Jesus Christ. Fitness to serve or to work in this church is assessed individually.
