10-Point Theological Scorecard
Christology
Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)
Trinitarian, Word-centered ('foundation is the Word of God... in Its entirety').
Strong
Scripture
Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?
Homepage: 'Our foundation is the Word of God and we believe It in Its entirety. We believe we can do what It says we can do, be who It says we can be, and have what It says we can have.' — 'have what It says we can have' framing has Word-of-Faith/prosperity-adjacent overtones; verify in person.
Caution
Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
'Momentum (Men)' choir + 'Men's Ministry' navigation entries confirmed.
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?
No women pastors on homepage; First Lady Dr. Stephaine Walker non-pastoral.
Verify
Caution
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
Bishop Joseph W. Walker III (male). First Lady Dr. Stephaine Walker holds non-pastoral title. No female pastors/elders listed on homepage.
Caution
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Verify expository vs topical.
Caution
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
Active outreach and community engagement typical of Black megachurches.
Strong
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
Self-described 'multi-ethnic, multi-cultural ministry' with holistic ministry emphasis including education and financial independence — monitor for social-justice drift but no Pride/LGBTQ+ affirming signals on homepage.
Caution
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
Homepage does not state NBC/ABC affiliation — verify.
Caution
