10-Point Theological Scorecard
Christology
Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)
Not stated on available homepage.
Caution
Scripture
Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?
Current series 'Luke — A Journey with Jesus' suggests book-study.
Caution
Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
Live fetch confirms 'Men' ministry listed under Ministries — green held.
Strong
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
Not stated on available sources.
Caution
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?

Lead Pastor Doug (male); detailed staff not retrieved
Caution
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
Not stated on available sources.
Caution
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Live fetch surfaces no current sermon series detail this pass; prior 'Luke' series carries.
Caution
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
Not stated on available sources.
Caution
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
Live fetch reconfirms 'WE ARE A MOSAIC STRIVING TO LIVE LIKE JESUS' homepage banner and 'people are divided by race, economics, life experiences and heritage' framing — progressive/DEI-adjacent language persists; red held on dimension.
WARNING!
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
Independent with plural elder structure: 9-man elder board (Bryce Gray, Doug Kempton [Lead Pastor], John Carter, Lloyd Clopton [Chairman], Mark Lubienski, Matt Mancinelli [in training], Murray Sales, Wayne Manchester [in training], Wayne Stapleton) per /about-us/staff-directory/. Upgrade to yellow on accountability structure alone; cultural/DEI concerns remain addressed under `cultural` dimension.
Caution
Assessment
Grace Community Church in Detroit is led by Pastor Will O. Harris II. Located at 21001 Moross Rd with live streaming available. Needs further evaluation for theological specifics, denominational connections, and men's ministry offerings.
