Strong
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
'Glorify Jesus Christ as ambassadors of His Kingdom, making disciples through His gospel' while serving as 'instruments of His grace, justice, mercy, and love.' Justice emphasis paired with gospel framing — mixed.
Strong
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
Explicit 'Racial Reconciliation' dedicated page; vision language 'people of every race, language, and culture will worship and work together as one beautiful community reconciled by the redeeming work of Jesus.' Language parallels PCA-progressive/MoC patterns flagged by rubric.
WARNING!
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
PCA provides strong presbyterian accountability through sessions, presbyteries, and General Assembly.

Enrichment Notes
Rating correction on cultural dimension: dedicated 'Racial Reconciliation' page and 'justice' framing trigger red-tier cultural score per rubric. Overall downgraded from potentially green to red.
These are the URLs consulted to arrive at this church's scoring. Score-note claims are synthesized from homepage content, denominational directories, and public statements of faith at the time of review. Church websites change frequently; we're progressively adding Internet Archive snapshots to prevent link rot.
