10-Point Theological Scorecard
Christology
Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)
Site: 'Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of a virgin; that He lived a sinless life, was crucified on Calvary for our sins, and bodily rose from the grave.'
Strong
Scripture
Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?
Site: 'Bible is the inspired Word of God, a divine revelation from God to man' and 'accept the Scriptures as the final authority in all matters of faith and conduct' — high view, functional inerrancy.
Strong
Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
Not prominently detailed on publicly loaded pages.
Caution
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
Site: 'through His death and life we have personal salvation' — grace through faith, Protestant soteriology.
Strong
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?
Elder board all male (Randy Barlow, Damon Cupp, Russ Darr, Rod May) — functional complementarianism.

Male pastoral leadership; Verify patriarchal / complementarian / egalitarian stance
Strong
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
Plurality of male elders confirmed: Senior Pastor/Elder Randy Barlow + elders Damon Cupp, Russ Darr, Rod May.
Strong
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Bible Church tradition emphasizes expository verse-by-verse teaching; pastoral titles 'Pastor/Elder' indicate shared polity.
Strong
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
Standard Bible Church missions emphasis.
Strong
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
No DEI/CRT language found on available pages.
Strong
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
Independent Bible Church — no denominational accountability; elder plurality provides internal accountability.
Caution

Enrichment Notes
Confirmed 4-elder plurality (Barlow/Cupp/Darr/May) upgrades leadership from yellow to green confidence; still independent so denominational stays yellow.
These are the URLs consulted to arrive at this church's scoring. Score-note claims are synthesized from homepage content, denominational directories, and public statements of faith at the time of review. Church websites change frequently; we're progressively adding Internet Archive snapshots to prevent link rot.
