AG Statement of Fundamental Truths is Trinitarian and orthodox.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

AG SFT affirms verbal inspiration and Scripture as the rule of faith and conduct.

Strong

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not visibly featured; yellow.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Standard evangelical: grace through faith. AG distinctive: subsequence and evidence of Spirit baptism with tongues — characteristic Pentecostal soteriological add-ons.

Strong

Gender / Biblical Design

Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?

AG has ordained women to all levels of ministry since 1914 (denominational egalitarianism). YELLOW per MOOP rubric — current pastor Thomas L. Winstead is male, but the denominational position is open.

Pastor Thomas L. Winstead (male); AG denomination ordains women to all levels of ministry

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Pastor-led; AG polity allows female senior pastors at the denominational level.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Preaching style not visible from public materials reviewed; yellow until verified.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

AG has one of the largest Pentecostal missionary footprints globally; missions emphasis is denomination-wide.

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

AG typically conservative on cultural issues, but yellow given Pentecostal practice variability congregation-to-congregation.

Caution

Accountability Structure

Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?

Assemblies of God — yellow at the denominational level due to women's ordination position; otherwise broadly orthodox Pentecostal.

Caution

Assessment

MOOP attended Abundant Life Assembly of God during his time at The Basic School (TBS, MCB Quantico). The 'back gate' of TBS opens north toward Stafford VA, and Abundant Life AG is the closest AG congregation in that direction (~3 miles from the base). Founded 1990 by a group concerned for the unchurched in Stafford. Pentecostal worship within an Assemblies of God denominational frame. YELLOW per MOOP rubric — same as the existing Conroe First and Spring First AG records — denominationally egalitarian though the local pastorate is male-led under Pastor Thomas L. Winstead.
