10-Point Theological Scorecard
Christology
Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)
Evangelical orthodox per Fresh Life vision/values; specific statement not loaded.
Caution
Scripture
Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?
'Teach the Bible in a way that people could understand'; authority affirmed, inerrancy language not quoted.
Caution
Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
Not detailed on available content.
Caution
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
Evangelical salvation emphasis: 'those stranded in sin find life and liberty in Christ.'
Caution
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?
Lead pastors Levi and Jennie Lusko (husband-wife). Jennie functions as co-pastor in public ministry — egalitarian-adjacent but not formally egalitarian.

Husband-wife lead pastor team (Levi and Jennie Lusko). ARC network generally permits female co-pastor framing.
Caution
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
Strong founder-personality model with multi-state campuses; ARC-aligned church planting. Lusko-centric celebrity pastor concern.
WARNING!
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Topical/motivational celebrity-pastor preaching typical of ARC network; not classic expository.
WARNING!
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
'Make Jesus famous and teach the Bible'; multi-state expansion across MT/OR/UT/WY/ID.
Caution
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
No explicit DEI/CRT/affirming language observed; ARC network generally avoids culture-war stances.
Caution
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
Non-denominational; ARC (Association of Related Churches) network — independent church-planting cooperative without confessional accountability.
WARNING!

Assessment
Fresh Life Church in Montana. Led by Levi Lusko, popular author/speaker. ARC-affiliated. Creative, energetic. Generally conservative but verify depth.

Enrichment Notes
ARC network model: celebrity pastor + multi-state expansion + light doctrinal commitments. Website in record (arcchurches.com) is wrong — should be freshlife.church.
