10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Full statement: one God in three persons, Jesus 'uncreated Creator and only begotten Son of God,' fully divine and fully human. Orthodox.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Statement explicitly affirms 66 books are 'divinely inspired (God-breathed), inerrant (without error), infallible' and authoritative on history and science. Strong green.

Strong

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not specifically surfaced on staff/about/beliefs pages — held yellow.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Grace-centered.

Strong

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Statement: 'Gender and biological sex are equivalent and cannot be separated.' Sexual activity outside heterosexual marriage is sinful. All three pastors are male. Aligns complementarian.

Strong

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Pastors confirmed: David Spear (Senior), Byron Crenshaw (Assistant), Reggie Bembry (Assistant). All male.

Strong

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Statement of faith plus current Leviticus and Revelation series confirms book-by-book exposition.

Strong

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Missions-active.

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Six-day literal creation, rejects evolution and old-earth interpretations. Counter-cultural, biblically conservative. | GREEN signal: Pastor David Spear is a public signatory of "The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel" (the 2018 "Dallas Statement," statementonsocialjustice.com), the post-2018 Big Eva line in the sand against CRT, woke evangelicalism, and feminized social justice. Verified via Wayback Machine snapshots. Per the "people is policy" principle, this is a strong positive marker of orthodox conservative-Reformed conviction.

Strong

Accountability Structure

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

Calvary Chapel Association — verse-by-verse teaching tradition.

Strong

Assessment

Verse-by-verse expository Calvary Chapel. Strong on Scripture.
