10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Trinitarian, gospel-affirming church.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Beliefs statement affirms the Bible is 'completely true and authoritative in all areas of faith and practice.'

Strong

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Verify men's ministry.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Verify faith-alone soteriology.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Homepage names only 'Pastor Ben' in testimonial quote. Shauna Pilgreen and Lindsey Lee female pastoral titles per prior research are not contradicted by homepage — no male-only eldership claim surfaced. Red stands.

Female pastors Shauna Pilgreen (Evangelism/Prayer) and Lindsey Lee (Executive Pastor of Ministries); egalitarian practice

WARNING!

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Homepage emphasizes welcoming ('Whoever you are and wherever you come from'); elder/governance structure not documented. Red (husband-wife lead dynamic + female executive pastor) stands.

WARNING!

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Verify expository vs topical.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Verify Great Commission focus.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

'Whoever you are and wherever you come from, we believe Epic is a place where you can find home' — broadly welcoming San Francisco framing; no explicit LGBTQ+ affirming or orthodox marker surfaced.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Verify denominational accountability.

Caution
