10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Not extracted.

Caution

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Beliefs page affirms Scripture 'true, authoritative, and necessary' BUT immediately couples with 'we are limited by our human weaknesses, ignorance, biases, and sin' — softening framing characteristic of progressive-evangelical reinterpretive hermeneutic; inerrancy not affirmed.

WARNING!

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not mentioned.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Not extracted.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Male pastor Tim Holley.

Male pastor Tim Holley; broader staff not extracted

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Single-pastor visibility.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Not described.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

'Apprentices of Jesus' framework — John Mark Comer / Practicing the Way adjacent language, which often accompanies Sabbath/silence-and-solitude progressive-evangelical spirituality.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

'Biases' framing paired with prior-batch Comer-adjacent 'apprentices of Jesus / being with Jesus / being transformed / partnering with Jesus' language places this church in the formation/Practicing-the-Way stream — red flag under R56 rubric.

WARNING!

Accountability Structure

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

Beliefs page makes no SBC claim; prior batch flagged SBC affiliation as unverified — remains unverified.

Caution

Enrichment Notes

Note: this is West County St. Louis Journey; not the same as Darrin Patrick's original Journey Church (which imploded 2020). 'Apprentices of Jesus' language = John Mark Comer influence — yellow pending doctrinal review.
