Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Baptist baseline — substitutionary atonement expected; specifics not stated.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

BGAV permits women pastors/deacons; specific local practice at Atlee not confirmed but denominational posture is egalitarian-permissive.

Male current lead pastor; BGAV denominational context permits women in pastoral leadership.

WARNING!

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Homepage tagline 'For those who gave up on church, or never went' confirmed. Jeff Boggess / Trey Critzer transition, SMT structure, BGAV affiliation not surfaced on homepage this pass; 'Who We Are' page not fetched.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Not stated on available sources — verify in person.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

'For those who gave up on church' — evangelism orientation.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Not stated on available sources — verify in person.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Self-describes as 'fully independent non-denominational church, meaning we aren't governed by outside authorities' (contradicts prior BGAV tag — verify). However, governance is via elected 'Spiritual Management Team (SMT)' accountable to members — a formal plurality structure. No external network. YELLOW: elder-plurality-analog + member polity without outside accountability body.

Caution
