10-Point Theological Scorecard
Christology
Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)
'Every person be reconciled to God through Christ' — orthodox shape, but creeds not referenced on available pages.
Caution
Scripture
Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?
Not stated on available sources — verify.
Caution
Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
Not stated on available sources — verify.
Caution
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
'Starting a relationship with Christ is the beginning' — generic evangelical language, no clear sola fide framing.
Caution
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?
Not stated on available sources — verify; non-denom seeker model typically egalitarian.
Verify — not yet assessed
Caution
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
Single dominant lead pastor model (Dave Nelson), mission heavily personality-driven; elder plurality not evident from available sources.
WARNING!
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Positive, affirming, relationally-framed ('God really does love everyone'; 'safe place for anybody') — seeker-sensitive/felt-needs pattern per KUTV interview.
WARNING!
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
Stated mission to 'help every person be reconciled to God through Christ'; execution primarily via attractional services.
Caution
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
'Welcome no matter how you live' is Revoice/Side-B-compatible language in SLC context; requires verification of sexuality/marriage teaching.
WARNING!
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
Fully independent non-denom with no stated confessional accountability.
WARNING!
Assessment
Not yet assessed. Default yellow pending on-site visit and detailed review.
