Caution
Scripture
Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?
Not stated on pages reviewed.
Caution
Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
'Men's Supper' referenced in imagery only; not a robust discipleship program from what's visible.
Caution
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
Not stated on pages reviewed.
Caution
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?

Caution
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
Standard Baptist pastor-led polity.
Caution
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Traditional hymn-based and blended services described; specific preaching method not surfaced.
Caution
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
'Missions, access ministry, weekday education' — community outreach framing.
Caution
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
'All walks of life' welcome language ambiguous — not stated on available sources.
Caution
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
Listed as SBC but website language is consistent with moderate/CBF-adjacent stream. Verify directly.
