Divorce & Remarriage

We believe and teach that God disapproves of divorce and intends for marriage to last until one’s spouse dies. Divorce and remarriage is regarded as adultery except on the grounds of fornication and the departure of an unbelieving spouse. Although divorced and remarried persons or divorced persons may hold positions of service in the church and be greatly used of God for Christian service, they may not be considered for the office of pastor or deacon. (Malachi 2:14-17; Matthew 19:3-12; Romans 7;1-3; I Corinthians 7:15; I Timothy3:2,12; Titus 1:6 )
