10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Mission statement: 'Building Community on the Solid Rock of Jesus Christ' — trinitarian form; no specific creedal language surfaced on homepage.

Caution

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

PCUSA does not require inerrancy; higher-critical hermeneutic permitted denominationally.

WARNING!

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

No men's ministry mention found.

WARNING!

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

PCUSA permits wide theological range; sola fide not enforced.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

PCUSA ordains women at all levels (pastors, elders, deacons); Rev. Tory Pruner is male but polity is egalitarian.

PCUSA affirming denomination

WARNING!

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Presbyterian session governance; Rev. Tory Pruner (male) as pastor since 2015.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Style not described on available pages; PCUSA lectionary tradition common.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Mission work in Malawi referenced — global reach but specific gospel clarity not visible.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

PCUSA denominationally affirms same-sex marriage and LGBTQ+ ordination since 2015.

WARNING!

Accountability Structure

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

PCUSA denominational affiliation explicitly confirmed on-site via navigation menu referencing 'Presbyterian Church USA' — mainline liberal per rubric (black tier).

Disqualifier

Assessment

Cornerstone Presbyterian of Jackson is PCUSA, led by Rev. Tory Pruner since 2015. PCUSA is affirming of LGBTQ clergy/marriage — disqualifies for conservative evangelical convictions.
