10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

AG Statement of Fundamental Truths is Trinitarian and affirms Christ's deity.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

AG Statement affirms Scripture as 'verbally inspired'; inerrancy is affirmed per AG position paper.

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Men's ministry listed — depth not surfaced.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

AG holds to sola fide but with Arminian flavor and emphasis on tongues/baptism of the Spirit subsequent to conversion.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Assemblies of God ordains women as pastors and 'Ministers'. Currently all pastors at MCC are male, but the denominational practice is egalitarian. Structural openness = red.

All current pastors at MCC are male, but AG denominationally ordains women (structural concern)

WARNING!

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Single-senior-pastor model typical of AG; elder plurality structure not surfaced.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

AG charismatic emphasis — preaching tends topical/experiential rather than expository.

WARNING!

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

AG World Missions framework.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

AG holds traditional biblical sexuality; no DEI language surfaced. But charismatic excess (signs and wonders, prosperity lite) is a historic concern.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

WebFetch ECONNREFUSED on mechcc.org; AG red classification held per prior WRSP/FaithStreet confirmation — AG ordains women and does not meet confessional-accountability bar.

WARNING!

Assessment

Mechanicsville Christian Center is a non-denominational church in Mechanicsville, east of Richmond in Hanover County. The 'Christian Center' name often indicates charismatic/Pentecostal leanings. Verify their specific doctrinal positions on spiritual gifts, Scripture authority, and gender roles. Charismatic theology is a secondary concern for cessationists but the core gospel affirmations (Trinity, atonement, resurrection) are typically sound. Needs further investigation.
