STATEMENT OF FAITH
From the Bylaws of CALVARY CHAPEL WINDSOR
ARTICLE 3
Section 2. In order to identify the church as conservative in theology, and evangelical in spirit, we set forth this general statement of fundamental beliefs:
A. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God and in errant in the original writings.
B. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
C. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return in power and glory.
D. We believe that the lost and sinful man must be saved, and that man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
E. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life.
F. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the unsaved; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are unsaved unto the resurrection of damnation.
G. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Section 3. The church will observe regularly the two New Testament ordinances of water baptism and the Lord's Supper. These ordinances are observed in obedience to our Lord Jesus Christ, out of love and devotion, and are not considered to be necessary for our salvation.

ARTICLE X
WE BELIEVE marriage is exclusively the legal union of one genetic male and one genetic female sanctioned by the state and evidenced by a marriage ceremony. Accordingly, this ministry will not perform any marriage ceremonies between two individuals of the same sex. It will not condone or recognize such same-sex marriages, civil unions, or domestic partnerships even if the state passes laws that provide for recognition of such unions. We also believe that legitimate biblical sexual relations are exercised solely within the covenant of marriage.
Hence, sexual activities such as, but not limited to, adultery, fornication, pre-marital sex, incest, polygamy, homosexuality, transgenderism, bisexuality, cross-dressing, pedophilia and bestiality are inconsistent with the teachings of the Bible and the Church.
Further, lascivious behavior, the creation, viewing and/or distribution of pornography and efforts to alter one’s physical gender or gender related appearance is sinful behavior, thus are incompatible with a true biblical witness. (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4-6; John 4:16-18; Romans 1:18-32; I Corinthians 5:11, 6:9-11, 6:18-20, 7:1-3 and 7:8-9; Galatians 5:19-21; Ephesians 5:3-7; 1 Timothy 1:9-11).
Therefore, anyone actively involved in any of these unbiblical activities will not be allowed to volunteer/serve within our fellowship.
