WE BELIEVE GOD CREATED HUMAN BEINGS, MALE AND FEMALE, IN HIS OWN IMAGE.  
As God’s image bearers, Adam and Eve, were uniquely created, declared to be very good and were given the mandate to care for, manage and govern creation as they lived in community together and fellowship with God.  Men and women are of equal and tremendous worth, as those made in the image of God and enjoy equal access to God through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ.  Though equal, men and women are also distinct, being uniquely designed by God, as embodied and relational souls, and are called to love God in spirit, mind and body as they live according to God’s Word in their vocations, the church and the family.
