10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Orthodox Trinitarian (typical non-denom megachurch).

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Not verified directly; broad evangelical Bible-base language typical.

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not surfaced in public materials.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Broad evangelical framing; no confessional specificity.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Numerous female pastors: Executive Pastor of Ministries Kayra Montañez, Discipleship Pastor Meg Freeman, Next Gen Pastor Deby Fabrazzo, Care Pastor Jennifer Kim, Special Needs Pastor Eryn Mera, Family Pastors Gina Odierno/Julissa Rodriguez, Creative Arts Pastor Hyo Sil Siegel — fully egalitarian.

Multiple women hold 'pastor' titles across campuses (Montañez, Freeman, Fabrazzo, Kim, Mera, Rodriguez, Odierno, Siegel, Waszaj, Barone) — fully egalitarian.

WARNING!

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Tim Lucas as founder-lead pastor dominates; multi-campus team with no transparent elder accountability.

WARNING!

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Tim Lucas model is topical-application seeker-sensitive 'Liquid Church' currents — not expository.

WARNING!

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Outreach 100 growth-focused.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Seeker-sensitive suburban multisite culture.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Non-denominational; 'ECFA member in good standing' but no confessional accountability.

WARNING!

Enrichment Notes

10+ female 'pastors' across ministries — strong egalitarian indicator. Written endorsement by Chris Hodges (Church of the Highlands / ARC) suggests ARC-adjacent ecosystem though not formally affiliated.
