10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Acts 29 Network church — orthodox Trinitarian per Acts 29 SOF.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Acts 29 SOF: 'Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are God-breathed, inerrant, and the supreme and final authority.'

Strong

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not detailed on loaded pages.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Acts 29 Reformed soteriology — sola fide.

Strong

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Acts 29 is explicitly complementarian (SOF: 'men and women are equally created in God's image but have distinct and complementary roles in the home and church; the office of elder/pastor is reserved for qualified men'). Rich Dugan leads North Metro.

Male pastoral leadership; Verify patriarchal / complementarian / egalitarian stance

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Elder-led per Acts 29 polity; Rich Dugan is North Metro pastor, part of multi-site Fellowship Denver with elder team per 'pastoral care is under the supervision of Fellowship Denver's elder team.'

Strong

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Acts 29 expository commitment per network standards.

Strong

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Acts 29 church-planting network — Denver area plant with strong missional emphasis.

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Acts 29 post-Mark Driscoll has maintained gospel-centered ethos; no DEI/CRT indicators on public pages.

Strong

Accountability Structure

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

HELD YELLOW with downgrade in network confidence. Acts 29 'find-a-church' page does NOT list Fellowship Denver in current directory — only 'Fellow Citizens' (Pastor Michael Goldstein, 1600 Grant St, Denver) appears as the Denver-area Acts 29 plant. Fellowship Denver's Acts 29 status is therefore not currently verifiable; prior assumption of network accountability needs re-research. Polity/elder framing from prior round may stand independently but the Acts-29-tie-as-accountability pillar is unconfirmed.

Strong

Assessment

Fellowship Denver Church is an Acts 29 congregation in Denver, CO. Multi-campus Acts 29 church with Reformed theological convictions and missional focus in the Denver metro.
