Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Pastor Carlos Rodriguez leads; elder structure and staff gender mix not detailed on publicly loaded materials.

Outreach 100 growth-focused identity.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Enrichment Notes

Church website was not reachable in multiple attempts — kept yellow but note that single-pastor non-denominational with unreachable public SOF warrants caution. Flag for review.

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. Church websites change frequently; we're progressively adding Internet Archive snapshots to prevent link rot.
