Question
Where does your church stand on homosexuality and the acceptance of homosexuals in your church family?
Hi Steve,
We are a Bible believing church and therefore the leadership of the church views the practice of homosexuality as a sin. We do not judge people who have a same sex attraction but do not act on that desire. Part of the mystic way is denying self and putting to death desires of the flesh and mind.
Your servant in Christ,
Jay Forrest
