Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
'Helping everyone become an outward-focused follower of Jesus' confirmed; three KS campuses (Overland Park x2, Olathe).

Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
'Special Needs' ministry and 'every stage of life' language — inclusive but not DEI-ideological.
Caution
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
Independent non-denominational with plural pastor/elder structure per /governance: five named pastors (Tim Howey Sr. Pastor; Brian Gann Exec/Olathe; Christopher Fetters North OP; Kent Liles Spiritual Dev/Online; Ben Abu Saada Worship). Site explicitly frames pastors as 'elders, bishops, pastors' — plurality language. Separate Board of Directors uses Carver policy governance. ECFA-accredited. Upgrade to yellow: verifiable plural eldership + published governance structure.
Caution

Enrichment Notes

Multi-campus non-denom model = red denominationally per rubric. Doctrinal data too thin for further scoring.

These are the URLs consulted to arrive at this church's scoring. Score-note claims are synthesized from homepage content, denominational directories, and public statements of faith at the time of review. Church websites change frequently; we're progressively adding Internet Archive snapshots to prevent link rot.

Transparency note: MOOP ratings are researcher judgments about publicly available theological and ecclesial evidence. They are not infallible. If a church's public posture has changed since our review, or if we've mis-read evidence, tell us — we publish corrections.
