Biblical Position on Human Sexuality

Community EPC holds to a biblical perspective on the subject of human sexuality. We believe in the truth of the Holy Scriptures as the supreme and final authority for mankind. The truth about our sexuality is made clear in light of God’s creation and design according to the Bible. So, with much confusion and debate today over what is true about us in reference to gender, sexual desire, and identity, we thought it loving to share the biblical position that we and our denomination hold.

We believe that human sexuality is a gift from God and that: each person is wonderfully and immutably created as male or female; that marriage is a sacred covenant between one biological male and one biological female; and that sexual relations are to be exclusively expressed within biblical marriage. (Genesis 1:26–28, 2:18–24; Proverbs 5:1–23; Matthew 19:3–6; Romans 1:18–27)
