10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

BFM2000

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Inerrancy

Strong

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

KOZ (Kids Outdoor Zone) program described as 'provides men of a local church with training and curriculum to mentor boys using outdoor adventure' for ages 8-18. This is a men-mentoring-boys program, not a men's-own discipleship track. Still meaningful — yellow lean with caveat that it's outward-focused, not inward men's discipleship.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Grace through faith

Strong

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Complementarian (CBMW halfway position; MOOP holds patriarchal headship as the biblical standard)

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Pastor-led

Strong

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Church emphasizes 'authenticity' and 'freedom of expression' in worship; 'direct encounters with God' framing. Blends contemporary and classic worship. Sermon methodology not explicit. Lean yellow or red depending on expressive/charismatic emphasis — verify in person.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

SBC missions

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Conservative SBC

Strong

Accountability Structure

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

SBC cooperative

Strong

Enrichment Notes

Contact email in footer is personal (zachwashington061414@gmail.com) with no stated role — suggests small-church informal infrastructure. Denomination not stated publicly; the 'authentic' + 'freedom of expression' language is common in independent charismatic-adjacent Baptist congregations.

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.
