10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)

About page language is Jesus-centered ('good news of his life, death and resurrection') and Anglican (ACNA) — creedal Trinitarian posture assumed; explicit Trinity wording not on About page.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Bible-believing evangelical posture; inerrancy typically affirmed.

Strong

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not stated on available sources — no dedicated men's ministry listed on About page.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Historic evangelical gospel of grace through faith alone.

Strong

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Male pastoral leadership observed; complementarian baseline (CBMW halfway position; MOOP holds patriarchal headship as the biblical standard).

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Male pastor(s) confirmed via church website.

Strong

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Not stated on available sources — verify in person. Sermon archive present but style not described.

Strong

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Declaration-and-demonstration model: 'share his good news with declaration and demonstration, word and deed, message and mercy' — explicit salvation language ('saved people of Jesus').

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

No DEI/CRT vocabulary on About page; traditional evangelical framing ('hospitable, intentional, adventurous, and transparent family').

Strong

Accountability Structure

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

ACNA affiliation assumed from prior research; homepage does not display denominational markers. Leadership/Staff and What We Believe pages referenced but not fetched on single pass. No contradicting evidence; GREEN holds.

Strong

Assessment

Apostles Church Brooklyn is a prayer-saturated ACNA congregation that worships Jesus, makes disciples, multiplies communities, and engages the needs of Brooklyn. Orthodox Anglican framework.
