10-Point Theological Scorecard
Christology
Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)
PCUSA's Book of Confessions is broadly Trinitarian but PCUSA trajectory permits considerable latitude; local christology not stated explicitly.
Caution
Scripture
Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?
PCUSA permits non-inerrantist hermeneutics; church does not publish an inerrancy statement.
WARNING!
Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
Not mentioned on available sources.
WARNING!
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
Not clearly stated on pages reviewed.
Caution
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?
Rev. Dr. Nicole Wilkinson (female) serves as pastor since November 2017 — disqualifying for complementarian convictions.
Female pastor; PCUSA egalitarian denomination
WARNING!
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
Female pastor in senior role; PCUSA session polity.
WARNING!
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Not stated on available sources.
Caution
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
Not specified on home page.
Caution
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
CONFIRMED RED: homepage prominently displays 'Loving.... Inclusive.... Affirming' — explicit affirming posture consistent with PCUSA's 2011 clergy and 2015 marriage affirming decisions.
WARNING!
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
CONFIRMED RED: site explicitly self-identifies 'Cape May Presbyterian Church (PC USA)'. PCUSA liberal mainline — disqualifier.
WARNING!
Assessment
Cape May Presbyterian is PCUSA led by Rev. Dr. Nicole Wilkinson since 2017. Female lead pastor and PCUSA affirming denomination disqualify for complementarian convictions.

Enrichment Notes
Home-page tagline 'Loving.... Inclusive.... Affirming' is a self-declared affirming identifier — moves cultural from yellow to red.
[2026-05-19] MOOP rubric: PCUSA — affirming since 2014. Already rated red.
