10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Not extracted in detail; 'Bible Church' movement is typically dispensational-evangelical orthodox.

Caution

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Built upon 'inspired truth of God's word' — affirms inspiration; specific inerrancy phrasing not extracted.

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not detailed.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Bible Church orthodoxy — sola fide, substitutionary atonement.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Plurality of male elders (Randy Barlow, Damon Cupp, Russ Darr, Rod May) with no women — clear complementarian.

Plurality of male elders (Barlow, Cupp, Darr, May); no women elders — clearly complementarian

Strong

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

GREEN — plurality of named male elders with Senior Pastor among them; transparent elder accountability structure visible.

Strong

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Mission statement: 'proclaim the excellencies of Christ in all things, to the glory of God in the joy of all peoples' — Piper-esque Christian hedonism framing suggests Reformed expository preaching.

Strong

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

'Excellencies of Christ... joy of all peoples' — clear gospel/missions focus (echoes John Piper's 'Let the Nations Be Glad').

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

No DEI/CRT markers; classical Bible-church evangelical culture.

Strong

Accountability Structure

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

Non-denominational Bible Church; plural male elders visible elsewhere; website fetch did not confirm additional details in this pass.

Caution
