10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Not detailed on leadership page; generic evangelical framing

Caution

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Reference to 'answers to Christianity's challenges' but no explicit inerrancy statement on available pages

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Mention of Kevin Thompson as Global Married Life Pastor; no dedicated men's ministry visible on leadership page

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Not detailed on available sources

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Leadership roster currently all-male on lead pastor level at primary campuses; however Bayside has historically platformed women preachers — verify

Named leadership roster currently male at lead-pastor level; historically platformed women preachers — verify current policy

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Multi-campus corporate structure: Ray Johnston (Founding Senior), Mark Clark (Global Senior), numerous campus pastors. No visible plurality-of-elders model

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Seeker-sensitive megachurch style (20K attendance, 9+ campuses per Outreach 100) — felt-needs/topical focus typical

WARNING!

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Thrive Conference focus; some humanitarian work (medical clinic in Africa, anti-trafficking homes) — gospel centrality not clear

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Hosts Thrive Leadership Conference; platformed diverse voices — verify current cultural posture

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Fully independent non-denominational megachurch, no confessional accountability

WARNING!

Assessment

Not yet assessed. Default yellow pending on-site visit and detailed review.
