10-Point Theological Scorecard
Christology
Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)
Church describes itself as 'Christ-centered' — implies orthodox Christology but not explicitly confirmed in available research.
Caution
Scripture
Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?
No explicit statement of faith confirmed. 'Spirit-filled, non-denominational' branding is a caution flag for potential experiential over scriptural priority.
Caution
Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
Not surfaced.
Caution
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
Christ-centered branding suggests evangelical soteriology, but no explicit faith-alone statement confirmed.
Caution
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?
CONFIRMED: Lead Pastors are 'Jeff & Kristy Nicolette' per /our-leadership and church-finder listings. Kristy Nicolette is formally titled 'Pastor' and has her own speaker page at mvmntchurch.com/media/speaker/Pastor+Kristy+Nicolette including sermons in 'Encounters With Jesus' series. Definitive RED.

Non-denominational Spirit-filled tradition — women in leadership is possible; needs direct investigation
WARNING!
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
Husband-wife co-lead-pastor team. No plural elder structure visible. Multiple women in director roles (Martha Madigan Creative, Sarah Mensah Connections, etc.).
WARNING!
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Female lead pastor preaching confirmed via speaker page archive.
WARNING!
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
Active community service emphasis and 'people of all backgrounds' focus suggests genuine outreach heart.
Strong
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
'Spirit-filled' branding; no overt progressive signals on visible pages but no statement-of-faith page accessible (404 on /about, /team, /who-we-are, /beliefs); content sparse and contemporary-experiential.
Caution
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
Non-denominational; legal entity 'Skyline Church, INC.' DBA MVMNT Church. No external accountability body. Self-governed.
WARNING!

Assessment
MVMNT Church is a vibrant, Spirit-filled non-denominational congregation in Charlottesville with strong community engagement. The church's emphasis on 'abundant life in Christ' and its welcoming posture toward diverse backgrounds speaks to an outreach heart. However, for a man doing theological due diligence, several key questions are unanswered from web research alone: Who is the lead pastor? Is there an explicit statement of faith? What is the view on women in pastoral leadership? Is preaching expository? The 'spirit-filled, non-denominational' combination without a confirmed doctrinal foundation warrants caution. MVMNT should be evaluated in person with direct doctrinal questions asked of leadership.
