10-Point Theological Scorecard
Christology
Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)
Church states worship 'draws influence from a number of other religious traditions and spiritual practices' — pluralist trajectory.
WARNING!
Scripture
Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?
Not stated as inerrant/final authority; posture is inclusive-pluralist.
WARNING!
Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
No men's ministry visible.
WARNING!
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
Not stated; language centers on 'caring deeply, loving everyone, serving together' rather than substitutionary atonement.
WARNING!
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?
Welcoming & Affirming of LGBTQ+ and all gender identities per site content.
SBC complementarian per BF&M 2000 (CBMW halfway position; MOOP holds patriarchal headship as the biblical standard); verify local practice (verify whether headship convictions are robust or drifting toward functional egalitarianism)
Disqualifier
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
References 'pastoral team' without distinctive elder structure.
WARNING!
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Justice-oriented social-gospel emphasis; references MLK pulpit 1962.
WARNING!
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
Social-justice/diversity framing; gospel specifics not central.
WARNING!
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
Explicit 'pink hair or pink Easter bonnet' inclusive language, DEI-style welcome.
Disqualifier
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?

Enrichment Notes
URL research: matched address 1373 Grant St Denver CO 80203 verbatim. Note: church is ABCUSA per its About page, not SBC as recorded — denomination mismatch.
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.
