Not stated on available sources.

Caution

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

'Proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ in word and deed' — generic Protestant language.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Five ordained pastors on staff; genders not specified but Presbyterian Fellowship (non-PCA) typically ordains women. Pending verification, probable egalitarian.

Male senior pastor; five ordained pastors with unspecified genders; flag for verification given record mismatch

WARNING!

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Dr. Bradley Rogers listed as Senior Pastor (male); five ordained pastors plus 50+ staff — elder-led but size suggests corporate model.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Not described — verify.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Word-and-deed language suggests social ministry emphasis; mission not clearly gospel-primary.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

No explicit DEI language on About page.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

'Presbyterian Fellowship' — verify which branch (EPC, ECO, PCA, EPC, PCUSA); undefined affiliation.

Caution

Enrichment Notes

CRITICAL: church record says 'First Baptist Bonita Springs' with SBC denom, but fpcbonita.org is First Presbyterian. Either the website URL is wrong or the name/denom are wrong. [2026-05-16 needs_review: Agent search returned First Presbyterian Bonita (Dr. Bradley Rogers). Verify denomination — record may actually be Presbyterian, not Baptist.]

These are the URLs consulted to arrive at this church's scoring. Score-note claims are synthesized from homepage content, denominational directories, and public statements of faith at the time of review. Church websites change frequently; we're progressively adding Internet Archive snapshots to prevent link rot.
