10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Orthodox Trinitarian per CCV statement.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Authority affirmed; inerrancy not explicit.

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not specifically documented.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Restoration Movement evangelical; baptismal theology requires verification.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

CCV traditionally male-only senior pastor; women pastor stance not explicit.

Male senior pastor; specific women-in-office policy not published

WARNING!

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Elder board 'collaborates closely with staff and leadership teams to align ministry goals and ensure cohesive decision-making' — documented elder governance.

WARNING!

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Topical-attractional style typical of CCV; not strictly expository.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

'WIN people to Christ, TRAIN believers, SEND disciples' — Great Commission focus; 35,000+ weekly attendance across 12 AZ campuses.

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

No explicit DEI/CRT language observed.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

CCV homepage thin: 'for people on their brightest days and in their toughest seasons' and 'for second chances' — attractional framing. Specific Mesa campus, Wooldridge role, SOF, elders, baptism theology not surfaced on homepage. No ARC/Comer/CRT signals detected. Verify locally.

Caution
