10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Orthodox Trinitarian on paper.

Caution

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Bible affirmed as authoritative; inerrancy not explicit.

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Generic groups; no distinctive pipeline.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Grace-through-faith; Word-Faith/charismatic overtones via Morris legacy ('Blessed Life' tithing emphasis).

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Daniel Floyd and wife Tammie, 'also a pastor,' jointly installed (2025) as lead pastors by elder Tra Wilbanks — husband-wife co-pastor pattern flagged by rubric as red.

Husband-wife co-pastorate (Daniel + Tammie Floyd) — egalitarian practice; rubric flags as red

WARNING!

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Elder-led governance referenced, but the founding pastor Robert Morris pleaded guilty in Oct 2025 to five counts of lewd/indecent acts with a child; board credibility damaged. Staff layoffs and tithing drops ongoing 2025.

WARNING!

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Word-Faith-adjacent prosperity/tithing emphasis historically; new Floyd administration not yet re-verified.

WARNING!

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Broad reach; specifics post-transition unclear.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Major governance/abuse scandal dominates narrative.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Independent megachurch — no confessional accountability; Morris previously on Trump Evangelical Advisory Board.

WARNING!
