10-Point Theological Scorecard
Christology
Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)
Beliefs page affirms Trinity, Christ's deity, substitutionary atonement — green.
Caution
Scripture
Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?
Bible described as 'the unique, full, and final authority on all matters of faith and practice,' 'written and recorded by men divinely inspired by God.' Inspiration affirmed but explicit inerrancy language (Chicago Statement level) not stated — yellow.
Caution
Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
Not stated on available sources — verify in person.
Caution
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
Traditional evangelical — salvation through Christ, eternal security — green.
Caution
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?
VALIDATED RED. Prior research surfaced beliefs-page wording: 'the Bible teaches that no person be disqualified from service in the body of Christ based solely on gender' and 'men and women are full partners in ministry.' Explicit egalitarian.
Egalitarian — beliefs page affirms 'men and women are full partners in ministry' and that no one is disqualified from service based on gender
WARNING!
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
Lead Pastor Jake Scott (male) confirmed; full elder/deacon structure not visible; egalitarian framework undercuts male-eldership rubric.
Caution
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Quote from Pastor Jake: 'a place where you can find belonging and grow in belief in God, who He says you are and what He says you are capable of.' Identity-oriented framing — verify gospel centrality.
Caution
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
Not stated on available sources — verify in person.
Caution
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
Traditional one-man/one-woman marriage affirmed; no DEI/CRT language surfaced on beliefs page.
Caution
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
Non-denominational branding on homepage; BGAV affiliation per prior enrichment — moderate-Baptist drift consistent with egalitarian stance.
Caution

Enrichment Notes
Explicit egalitarian statement on /beliefs page flips gender from yellow to red and drives overall rating to red.
