Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

'Glorifying God by being and making disciples' — explicit discipleship mission confirmed.

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

No DEI language detected. | GREEN signal: Pastor Bryan Hughes is a public signatory of "The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel" (the 2018 "Dallas Statement," statementonsocialjustice.com), the post-2018 Big Eva line in the sand against CRT, woke evangelicalism, and feminized social justice. Verified via Wayback Machine snapshots. Per the "people is policy" principle, this is a strong positive marker of orthodox conservative-Reformed conviction.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Board Members page lists 21 named male elders including Senior Pastor Bryan Hughes, Dave Barnhart, Andy Gerlach, Jesse Kemp, Derek Marks, Dillon Marks, Jon Montoya, Jeremy Sauskojus, Blake Shaw, plus lay elders Brent Amunrud, Bill Bell, Eli DuCuennois, Gale Heide, Matthew Hoffman, Tobin Kruse, Ted Larson, Durward Sobek, Jack Thanepohn, Bill Vance, Dan Wielenga, Brad Wright. Separate 19-man deacon board. Strong verifiable biblical governance, though no external confessional network named on site — meets refined YELLOW (elder plurality + published governance). Upgrade from RED to YELLOW.
