10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Westminster-grounded Trinitarian orthodoxy; 'historic Christian faith recovered at the Protestant Reformation.'

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Explicit biblical inerrancy affirmed per fetched content.

Strong

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

'Quest for Authentic Manhood' 24-session series and Connect3/CBMC confirmed — strong men's discipleship.

Strong

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

'Biblical inerrancy, the Trinity, substitutionary atonement, and justification by faith alone' — explicit Reformation soteriology.

Strong

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Senior Pastor Rob Pacienza (male); Teaching Elders (Lamerson, Pacienza, Siegenthaler) all male; Ruling Elders all male. PCA confessional complementarian.

All-male elder plurality (Teaching + Ruling Elders); PCA confessional complementarian.

Strong

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Plurality of male Teaching and Ruling Elders; full PCA presbyterian polity.

Strong

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Confirmed expository: current 'Hold Fast' sermon series through Westminster Confession of Faith; 'Amazing Grace: Intro to Reformed Theology' classes.

Strong

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Evangelism Explosion partnership prominently featured with multi-country international reach — D. James Kennedy legacy intact.

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

'Image of God in All People' language — orthodox but includes categorical diversity language ('gifts, age, race, gender, culture, social status'); not clearly CRT but worth watching.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Presbyterian — Westminster confessional framing visible. Current specific denomination (PCA vs EPC vs independent) not confirmed on fetched pages; historical CRPC was PCA. Record currently mislabels as SBC/Baptist — correct this.

Strong
