Gender / Biblical Design

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

Brentwood Baptist historically ordains women deacons; SBC complementarian on pastors. Verify whether any women hold 'pastor' title after 2023 SBC Mike Law amendment debate.

Male senior pastor confirmed. Complementarian per SBC BF&M 2000 (CBMW halfway position; MOOP holds patriarchal headship as the biblical standard); verify whether headship convictions are robust or drifting toward functional egalitarianism.

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Jay Strother Senior Pastor since Oct 2023; multiple executive leadership roles; deacons; trustees.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Mixed expository-topical typical of large SBC multi-site.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Multi-cultural ministry breadth (Deaf, Chinese) and mental-health emphasis suggest active community outreach.

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

'Racial Unity' listed as a focus area; 'Additional Ministries' include Deaf Church, Chinese ministry, Mental Health — inclusivity framing but no explicit CRT/DEI vocabulary or Comer/Kendi/DiAngelo signals observed.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Southern Baptist Convention — cooperative accountability.
