Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Disaffiliated from Calvary Chapel Association in April 2024 over prophecy-update controversy — Farag is notably conservative on COVID/vaccine/globalism issues.

Strong

Accountability Structure

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

CONFIRMED disaffiliation: 'we still function as a Calvary Chapel, though no longer affiliated with Calvary Chapel' (April 2024 split over prophecy teachings). No denominational accountability — red.
