Christology

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

Trinitarian, gospel-affirming church.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Verify inerrancy stance; homepage does not publish doctrinal statement.

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Verify men's ministry.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Verify faith-alone soteriology.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Verify complementarian/egalitarian stance; Platt's SBC/SBTS pipeline strongly complementarian.

Verify

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Verify elder/pastor structure; multi-campus model with Tysons as flagship.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Verify expository vs topical; Platt historically expository.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Homepage confirms: 'glorify God by making disciples and multiplying churches among all nations beginning in greater Washington, DC' — explicit Great Commission framing.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Verify cultural alignment.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

McLean Bible voted to formally affiliate with SBC under David Platt's leadership in 2021-2022 (controversial congregational vote). Platt's trajectory: former IMB President, SBTS-trained, clearly SBC.
