Strong

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Local, urban, global outreach structure; Great Commission clear.

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

No CRT/DEI language observed; TGC alignment. | GREEN signal: Pastor Mark Vroegop is a public signatory of "The Nashville Statement on Biblical Sexuality" (CBMW, 2017-08-25, cbmw.org/nashville-statement). The Nashville Statement is the post-2017 evangelical line on biblical anthropology, marriage, and sexual ethics — affirming creation order, one-man-one-woman marriage, and biblical sexuality. Signing places the pastor on the orthodox / non-affirming side of the 2017 evangelical fault line.

Strong

Accountability Structure

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

Independent non-denominational; Vroegop historical TGC/9Marks ties (now TGC President Feb 2025). Homepage confirms 'What We Believe' link and structured men's/women's ministry separation; successor details not surfaced on homepage — verify in person.
