10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

No formal Trinitarian statement visible on site; standard Baptist framing assumed but creeds not cited.

Caution

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Site language 'diverse ways God meets us' suggests experiential alongside biblical authority — no inerrancy statement found.

WARNING!

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not visible on home page reviewed.

WARNING!

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

No explicit statement of faith published on the pages reviewed.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Rhonda Byrd listed as 'Pastor of Congregational Care' on staff page (jcbc.org/connection/our-staff/). Female ordained pastor confirmed — disqualifier.

Female pastor Rhonda Byrd (Pastor of Congregational Care) — egalitarian/affirming trajectory confirmed

Disqualifier

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Senior pastor Shaun King leads; pastoral staff includes woman with pastor title — rejects biblical complementarian model.

WARNING!

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Church appears on Day1.org (mainline progressive preaching broadcast) — therapeutic/social-gospel trajectory likely.

WARNING!

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

'Respect and value all of the diverse ways God meets us' replaces Great Commission framing with pluralist welcome.

WARNING!

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

'Regardless of who you are, or where you've been, you are welcome and wanted' — standard welcoming-affirming vocabulary on CBF-track Baptist sites.

Disqualifier

Accountability Structure

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

Still listed in SBC directory but Day1 affiliation and female pastor indicate CBF/Alliance of Baptists trajectory — liberal mainline Baptist (black per rubric).

Disqualifier

Assessment

Enrichment Notes

Classic SBC-on-paper/CBF-in-practice pattern. Day1 listing is decisive indicator of mainline progressive alignment. | URL research: Site verified; current address per Yelp/Waze is 6910 McGinnis Ferry Rd Alpharetta — record lists 7475 State Bridge Rd Johns Creek. Possibly an older address, or two campuses.

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.
