Mission Clarity

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

2026-04-23 audit: homepage reconfirms 'culture-changers' framing + 'being transformed' language in SF context — warrants continued caution. No overt DEI/CRT/affirming language detected. Hold yellow.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Self-described 'non-denominational church'; no visible network accountability. Hold red on denominational per fully-independent status.
