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

Trinity, divinity of Jesus, resurrection affirmed.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Explicitly affirms 'the Baptist Faith and Message (2000)' as doctrinal framework — BFM2000 inerrancy.

Strong

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Partnership with Noble Warriors raises men's discipleship signal. Hold yellow until in-house men's ministry verified.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Eternal security, BFM2000 substitutionary atonement.

Strong

Gender / Biblical Design

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

BFM2000 complementarian; male pastor + Southwestern/Southeastern training.

Strong

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Pastor 'Major' — Southwestern Baptist + Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (preaching focus). Both seminaries are conservative SBC institutions.

Strong

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Preaching-focused theological training at SWBTS + SEBTS — expository emphasis.

Strong

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Local partnerships with Noble Warriors (men's discipleship!), Pregnancy Resource Center (pro-life), Agape Center NRV, Bonhoeffer Haus.

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

BFM2000 + SBCV alignment indicates traditional cultural posture; verify.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Affiliated with Southern Baptist Convention AND Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia (SBCV) — strongest conservative SBC accountability.

Strong

Assessment

Christiansburg Baptist Church at 2895 Roanoke St. SBCV-affiliated. Currently in pastoral search (previous pastor Major Dalton). Phone: 540-394-3200. Note: Batch listed as 'First Baptist Church' but the actual name is 'Christiansburg Baptist Church.' SBCV affiliation is a positive indicator. Church is in transition — theology may shift depending on new pastor.
