Soteriology

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Lead Pastor Matt Stone (male); UMC ordains women, so female clergy possible on staff — not verified from available content.

Lead Pastor Matt Stone (male); UMC polity ordains women

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

UMC polity; disaffiliation in progress creates structural uncertainty.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Not described.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

'Here for Hope. Here for Good' tagline.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

UMC cultural spectrum varies; disaffiliated UMC churches typically leave over LGBTQ+ issues — likely more conservative post-disaffiliation but not confirmed.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Was UMC; disaffiliated ~2023. Currently between denominations ('discerning new affiliation'). Could join Global Methodist Church (conservative) or go independent. NOT Baptist and NOT SBC.

WARNING!

Assessment

IMPORTANT: Mount Pisgah Church at 9380 Nesbit Ferry Rd, Johns Creek, GA 30022 appears to be a United Methodist Church (mountpisgah.org), NOT a Baptist church as listed. Rev. Steve Wood is Lead Pastor; Jorge Henao is Hispanic Ministry Pastor. There IS a separate Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church (mtpisgah.church) with Pastor Jeffrey R. Davis (since 2019), but it may be at a different location. The batch file lists this as SBC — this needs manual verification. If the address corresponds to the UMC church, the denomination field is incorrect and should be updated.

Enrichment Notes

MAJOR correction: input data incorrectly labeled as SBC Baptist — actually Methodist (UMC disaffiliated). Denomination red pending resolution of new affiliation. Overall red because 'between denominations' = no current accountability structure. | [2026-04-30 denomination correction: Southern Baptist (SBC) -> Methodist (GMC); reason: Former UMC disaffiliated, discerning denominational home, NOT Baptist]
