Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

CoC traditional soteriology includes baptismal-regeneration emphasis — red per rubric.

WARNING!

Gender / Biblical Design

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

No women in eldership or preaching roles. Women in administrative/educational roles (Amanda children's education, Jenny Jones Care & Counseling) — consistent with conservative CoC practice.

Male preacher (Phil Brookman); women hold ministry-staff roles in education/worship but eldership gender not confirmed.

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Confirmed: Executive Minister Mark Taylor (coordinates staff + works with elders), Preacher Phil Brookman (joined 2005, pulpit since 2012). Elder/shepherd names still not published on visible page.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Not characterized style-wise.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

International + refugee support + disability inclusion programs.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

'There is a place for everyone at Memorial Road' + accessibility accommodations coordinator — progressive-leaning inclusion language but not explicitly affirming.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Traditional Church of Christ — no instrumental music mentioned on fetched content; staff structure consistent with conservative CoC.

Caution

Assessment
