10-Point Theological Scorecard
Christology
Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)
Trinitarian, gospel-affirming church.
Strong
Scripture
Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?
No statement of faith or inerrancy language visible; emergent posture typically does not affirm BF&M or Chicago-Statement inerrancy.
WARNING!
Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
Verify men's ministry.
Caution
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
Verify faith-alone soteriology.
Caution
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?
Verify patriarchal / complementarian / egalitarian stance.
Verify
Caution
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
Verify elder/pastor structure.
Caution
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Emphasizes 'real conversations and community' and 'ask any question' posture rather than preached Word — dialogue-oriented, not pulpit-grounded.
WARNING!
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
Verify Great Commission focus.
Caution
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
Self-identifies as 'progressive, emergent Christian community' per homepage framing — per rubric, progressive/emergent = red.
WARNING!
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
SBC tag in source data not corroborated by website; emergent framing inconsistent with SBC. Verify whether listing is miscategorized.
