Assessment

Kent Island GMC is a substantial Eastern Shore Maryland congregation with three Sunday services and an explicit Wesleyan/GMC self-identification. Belief statements are robustly orthodox (Trinity, full deity + humanity of Christ, atonement, salvation by grace through faith). Verify current lead pastor's identity before pastoral introduction.
