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

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

No men's ministry surfaced on homepage — verify.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Pastor James (male) confirmed on-site; AG 16 Fundamental Truths affirmed via fellowship link. AG generally egalitarian on ordination — women pastors possible denominationally; local church shows male pastoral leadership.

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

'A family of people chasing God, finding purpose, and sharing hope' — generic AG evangelistic framing; no explicit Great Commission text visible.

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

No DEI/CRT vocabulary visible on site; community-engagement framing standard AG.

Strong

Accountability Structure

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

AG fellowship confirmed on-site; no own statement of faith, defers to AG 16 Fundamental Truths.

Strong
