10-Point Theological Scorecard
Christology

Not stated as inerrant/final authority.
WARNING!

WARNING!
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
Not stated; substitutionary atonement not affirmed on visible pages.
WARNING!
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?
Explicit 'Inclusive & Affirming' with 'all of you is welcome, too' language — affirms LGBTQ+.

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?
'Intergenerational ministry' framing; progressive leadership posture.
WARNING!
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Community arts and justice advocacy central.
WARNING!
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
'Justice advocacy' and 'thoughtful worship' — social-justice replaces evangelism.
WARNING!
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
Fully progressive: 'Inclusive & Affirming' tagline.
Disqualifier
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
ABCUSA liberal mainline per rubric — black-tier.
