10-Point Theological Scorecard
Christology
Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)
Lutheran creedal orthodoxy presumed, but ELCA context introduces theological latitude.
Caution
Scripture
Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?
ELCA does not hold to inerrancy; higher-critical posture standard.
WARNING!
Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
Verify men's ministry.
Caution
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
Lutheran sola fide tradition, but ELCA context accommodates broader latitudes.
Caution
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?
Pastor Lynnae confirmed female ordained clergy; 'Nancy (Pastor Tedd's spouse) is noted as an ordained pastor.' Red per rubric.
Verify
WARNING!
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
Co-pastor model with ordained woman — red.
WARNING!
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Topical; series example 'I'll Fly Away: Birds in the Bible.'
Caution
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
Service to 'the needy world' — mainline social-service framing.
Caution
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
Homepage uses explicit ALL-caps affirming language: 'affirms a God that created ALL, recognizes Jesus love that welcomed ALL and celebrates a Spirit that is poured out for ALL' — ELCA affirming/inclusive posture.
WARNING!
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
CORRECTION: Website self-identifies as 'member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America' (ELCA), NOT SBC as prior record stated. ELCA is a mainline affirming denomination with female ordination and same-sex marriage. Record-error flip: YELLOW → RED.
WARNING!
