The Church of God in Christ's own report of its General Assembly's resolution, adopted 10 November 2014: marriage is defined as "a covenant relationship between a man and woman," rejecting "all attempts to redefine marriage in terms of same-sex unions." The resolution directs that credential holders "will neither perform same sex marriages, nor bless or condone such a union" and that "church properties will not be leased, rented, or loaned for any purpose related to such a union."
