This individual church's statement seems to vary only a bit from their denomination's OFFICIAL statement...it appears they added the "Civil Disobedience" clause.

Such an important issue to this church, it takes up an entire page separate from their other beliefs.

God bless them.

Bless this congregation and others like that take a stand for God and His Word.
There is a judgment and the denomination will have a price to pay.

Wow...that is not far from me.

If i were not already committed to the ministry in another church, i would definitely consider that one.

I bet we have a lot of FReepers in So FL.

I am a little further north and east, PBC line.

There is a Faith Presbyterian Church in Tacoma, WA that subscribes to the same...

The opposite of a “Works Presbyterian Church,” perhaps?

Yes, he is kidding. That would make as much sense as a St. Ignatius Lutheran Church, or a Thomas More Episcopal Church.

Sadly, if any of their members are bakers or photographers, the homosexual activists will be showing up at their places of business on Monday, demanding they shoot gay wedding photos or make a gay wedding cake.

Lutherans have no quarrel with +Ignatius of Antioch and Commemorate him on his traditional Western feast day of October 17.

I believe it is an association of former PC(USA) churches that rejected the PC(USA) heresy regarding Biblical marriage; amongst other issues.

The question remains. . .where does their money go? A piece of paper is meaningless unless they vote with their pocketbook not to financially support anti-God practices.

Faith Presbyterian is just one local congregation, and is representative of its parent denomination, the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC). The EPC is the second largest conservative Presbyterian denomination after the larger Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) and ahead of the smaller Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC). All three pulled away from the PCUSA (then PCUS) when the original body became heretical.

The OPC is the oldest of the 3, being formed by men of faith who saw early on that the main Presbyterian body was going down the wrong road.
