10-Point Theological Scorecard

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

'Supreme desire is to know Christ and to be conformed into His image by the power of the Holy Spirit' — Christocentric.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Strong

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

CC Distinctives affirm sola fide.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Verify

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Elders referenced but not named on accessible pages.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Strong

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

CC Great Commission emphasis.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Caution

Accountability Structure

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