We believe that God disapproves of and forbids divorce except in cases of adultery. Although divorced people may hold positions of service in the church and be greatly used of God for Christian service, they may not be considered for the offices of pastor, deacon, or board member. (Matthew
19:3-12; Mark 10:11-12; Romans 7:1-3; I Timothy 3:2&12; I Corinthians 7:10-16)
