“We believe that God created two genders, as reflected by both Scriptural witness and biological reality, which are male and female. Furthermore, we affirm that Scripture defines God’s good design for sexual relationships as a monogamous relationship, within the marriage covenant, between one man and one woman. Any deviation from the biblical view of both gender and sexuality is inconsistent with the doctrinal foundation of TCS.”
