Man was created in the image of God as male and female by direct act, not by an evolutionary process. Mankind are stewards of God’s creation, servants and worshipers under the rule of their Creator. God created them with a physical body, soul, and spirit, and designed marriage as a covenant relationship between a man and a woman. All mankind has value and worth to God and should be protected from conception through natural death. (Genesis 1:26-28; 2:7-25; Psalms 8; Psalms 139; Hebrews 13:4)

Sermon
What does it mean to be human? Drawing from Genesis 1, Pastor Joel unpacks the doctrine of humanity and what it means that every person is created in the image of God (Imago Dei). In this message, you’ll learn how and why God created us and why our identity is inseparable from our Creator. Whether you’re wrestling with questions of identity, purpose, or what it means to flourish as a human being, this message will ground you in the truth that your life has profound dignity that is rooted in the God who made you.
