10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Statement of faith on clvry.org/we-believe affirms 'sum of all our theological beliefs is Jesus Christ' with orthodox Trinitarian framing.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Explicit inerrancy: affirms 'the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments as the inerrant Word of God' and uses KJV (Masoretic/Received Text).

Strong

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not stated on available sources — verify in person.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Grace alone: 'salvation is the free gift of God to all who place their faith and trust in Christ alone.'

Strong

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Male pastor only (Justin Spradlin); no explicit patriarchal language published, but complementarian framework assumed per IFB norms.

Male pastor only.

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Two-office polity affirmed: 'pastor...described in scripture by the three titles of pastor, bishop, and elder' and deacons (Titus 1/1 Tim 3 pattern).

Strong

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

KJV-based Bible preaching emphasis with explicit doctrine focus; cessationist (sign gifts called 'temporary').

Strong

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Local Spotsylvania outreach; premillennial/pretribulational eschatology implies urgency.

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

No progressive signals; conservative dispensational IFB framework.

Strong

Accountability Structure

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

HELD YELLOW. Live homepage confirms Pastor Justin Spradlin and 'we-believe' nav link, consistent with prior research. No wayback snapshot available. IFB substance from prior round (inerrancy, KJV, two-office polity) stands; men's ministry depth and any network tie remain unverified.

Caution

Assessment

Calvary Baptist Church in Spotsylvania is a KJV Independent Baptist church led by Pastor Justin Spradlin. Listed on KJV Churches directory, it emphasizes faithful Bible preaching and compassionate outreach. This is another church squarely in Moop's theological wheelhouse — KJV, independent, male-led, conservative. Highly recommended.
