Policy Of Marriage​
Marriage is a union ordained by God. The first recording of this God-ordained union is found in the early chapter of Genesis. Marriage was codified in the Levitical law. The Old Testament prophets compared it to the historical narratives, and the wise literature discusses the unique unity of this relationship. The Lord Jesus explained the original intention and core elements of marriage. Several New Testament epistles give explicit instruction on this union. Marriage, as a profound spiritual institution was established by God. Due to the importance of marriage in the biblical witness, Faith Centrum Church adopts the following policy:
