10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)

Nazarene Articles of Faith affirm Trinity and deity of Christ.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Nazarene affirms Scripture as 'plenary inspired'; inerrancy worded narrower than Chicago Statement ('inerrantly revealing the will of God concerning us in all things necessary to our salvation').

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not confirmed on reviewed page.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Wesleyan-Arminian soteriology with entire-sanctification doctrine; differs from Reformed sola fide framing.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Church of the Nazarene ordains women to pastoral office denominationally (official egalitarian stance since 1908).

Nazarene denominationally ordains women to senior pastoral office

WARNING!

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Current pastor name not surfaced on welcome page — verify.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Methodology not confirmed on page.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Great Commission explicitly central in Nazarene tradition.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Reviewed page states 'biblical truth that doesn't change regardless of culture' — conservative framing.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Confirmed Church of the Nazarene; mission since 1911: 'making Christlike disciples in the Kansas City area, and around the world.' SOF affirms 'authority of the Bible' and 'biblical truth that doesn't change regardless of culture, popular thought or ideology' — conservative framing within Nazarene Wesleyan-holiness tradition. Denominational egalitarian polity (women ordained) keeps gender at red.
