10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Trinitarian, gospel-affirming church.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Not stated on homepage — verify.

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not stated on available sources — verify in person.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

ARC-adjacent churches often lean seeker-sensitive/attractional with light soteriology.

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 in person; husband-wife founding pattern noted.

Husband-wife founding team (Tim + Colleen Lucas); current pastoral gender policy unverified.

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Founder-led mega-personality model; Tim Lucas leads Northeast Pastors Coaching Network — high personal platform; elder accountability not evident.

WARNING!

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Attractional/felt-needs style typical of ARC-adjacent fast-growth churches.

WARNING!

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

'Saturate the State with the Gospel of Jesus Christ' — aggressive growth orientation.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Homepage (R38 fetch) confirms dedicated 'Racial Reconciliation' link under 'Get Help' section — sustains red cultural rating.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Fully independent 'Non-Denominational Christian Church in NJ' per site header (R38 fetch); ARC-adjacent — no external accountability.

WARNING!

Enrichment Notes

ARC network adjacency via Chris Hodges endorsement = downgrade. Founder-personality concentration with wife as co-starter fits enrichment risk pattern.

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.
