Sojourner I can only answer one question on that: Yes it is a new church.

However, since he is "the pastor" of the church I would make some assertions that I will gladly share.

If the pastor didn't have a hand in drafting this statement of faith he should have been the one overseeing those that did. If the pastor viewed this statement of faith (SOF) and saw obvious errors why didn't he immediately change the SOF? Sorry that is just acedia and if he is that way with the basic beliefs of the church what is he doing handling the Word of God?

If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself. Augustine of Hippo
