I am just wondering what is your church's views on this issues. Thanks.

Sex before marriage is wrong for any Christian. I think birth control pills are horrible. Our bodies are temples of God and He wouldn't want us putting in chemicals to alter and confuse our natural hormones. There are so many risks associated with these pills. Women need to start understanding their bodies better. There are only 1-2 days a month that you can get pregnant. Avoid sex on these days. How hard is that? Buy an ovulation test if you aren't sure. It's cheaper in the long run than pills or condoms.
May God Bless you.

My church (Baptist) believes that Sex should not come before marriage.
Regarding Condoms and pills. That's dependent on the couple. Since sex doesn't come before marriage - only married couples will be faced with the issue of protective sex. Myself and my wife are trying to keep from having a baby for a while, so pills are helping out with that. There are many newlyweds that don't want to leap into parenthood so the protective issue comes into play. It's up to the couple.

I no longer attend Church so have no current Church views to relay.
My old Church was Congregationalist, sex before marriage was shunned, bring a child into the world before marriage was worse to the point you were not spoken to but about, contraception was never discussed but preferable to having a child.
My brothers Church (Baptist) does not appear to have a definitive view. Most accept sex before marriage and having children before marriage as long as it takes place within a stable, loving relationship. Again contraceptives are advised to prevent unwanted children.

My church says nothing about condoms and contraception. As far as sex, before or after marriage, it's clear that letting sex dominate your life, become an obsession, or interfere with your life is bad. Other than that, nothing specific about sex is wrong.
If it's cheating or infidelity, then it's the dishonesty and deception that is the problem, not the sex.

Fornication is carnal union between an unmarried man and an unmarried woman. It is gravely contrary to the dignity of persons and of human sexuality which is naturally ordered to the good of spouses and the generation and education of children. Moreover, it is a grave scandal when there is corruption of the young.
Contraceptive pills and devices are also against the laws of the Church even when they are used in a marriage environment. The purpose of sex is to create life.
Peace and every blessing!

Well, I am a Christian who doesn't actually go to "church" so my views are personal ones, based in my own study.
Sex before marriage is wrong. Sex is intended for people who are married, but it is not an unforgivable sin.
Birth control, in my opinion, is fine. Yes, God wants us to 'be fruitful & multiply' but he also gave us a brain. And with that brain we are to determine how many children we can support.

I am a good person. I had sex before marriage. I don't know if I want to called a Christian anymore though. I see the term "Christian" as almost derogatory given the kind of hateful, intolerant speech I have seen on Answers.
I have read the bible and can't seem to find anywhere that says Christians are given free reign to condemn and judge others for their lifestyles. Hmmmm.....I guess I missed that part.

1. Only virgins should marry.
2. Condoms are birthday balloons in HELL!
3. Contraception pills are abortion's evil twin sister...
