Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
No dedicated men's ministry information visible publicly — 'small traditional Southern Baptist church' description suggests limited program depth; verify in person.
Caution
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
Grace through faith
Strong
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?
Complementarian (CBMW halfway position; MOOP holds patriarchal headship as the biblical standard)
Caution
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
Rev. David B. Eastland, Ph.D. (male) confirmed as pastor since 2010. Jennifer Eastland (female) listed as pianist — not a pastoral role. Traditional SBC structure. Hold overall yellow due to limited doctrinal/mens-ministry depth on public site.
Strong
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Site describes Sunday morning service as 'a mix of traditional hymns, prayer, and preaching that brings out the meaning of the Word of God' — suggests exposition-leaning but not explicitly verse-by-verse; pastor is Rev. David B. Eastland, Ph.D. (since 2010).
Caution
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
SBC missions
Strong
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
Conservative SBC values
Strong
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
