10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

C&MA denomination — orthodox Trinitarian per CMA Statement of Faith.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

CMA affirms inerrancy historically; 'the Holy Scriptures, Old and New Testaments, are inerrant as originally given.'

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not verifiable due to dead website.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

CMA Wesleyan-Reformed hybrid; grace through faith.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

CMA amended polity in 2023 General Council to allow women to hold title of 'pastor' in consecrated-worker roles (NOT senior/lead pastor; elder office still male-only). Shift from pre-2023 stance. Verify local practice.

Male lead pastor; Verify patriarchal / complementarian / egalitarian stance

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Pastor Frank Amato listed in prior enrichment — website unreachable for verification.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

CMA tradition generally expository-topical mix.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

CMA has one of the largest evangelical missions boards globally.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

CMA denomination moderately conservative; no CRT indicators from public denom materials.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Christian & Missionary Alliance (CMA) — confessional denomination with accountability; 2023 polity shift on women complicates refined rubric — keep yellow.

Caution
