10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Statement of Faith affirms Trinity, Christ's deity, substitutionary atonement, and future personal return of Jesus.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Explicit biblical inerrancy affirmed in statement of faith.

Strong

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not mentioned on fetched page.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Statement affirms 'salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.'

Strong

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Church explicitly states it 'does not ordain women as pastors or elders' while affirming equal dignity and distinct God-given roles — firmly complementarian.

Explicitly complementarian — does not ordain women as pastors or elders; affirms distinct God-given roles

Strong

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Elder board confirmed all-male on /staff page: Dave Gutekunst (VC), Bob Burch (Treas), Andy Hall (Sec), Kyle Gager, Jay Appleton, Sajay Mathew. Preaching Team all-male (Berglund, Jarvis, Kantner). Female staff only in non-pastoral roles (women's/children's director, coordinators, finance). Complementarian in practice — plurality-of-male-elders confirmed.

Strong

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Preaching style not detailed — sermons available but methodology not described.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

CMA historic missions emphasis; church describes itself as 'big tent' evangelical.

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

No DEI/CRT language observed; complementarian theology signals traditional sexual ethics.

Strong

Accountability Structure

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

Christian and Missionary Alliance — local posture more conservative than national trajectory.

Caution
