10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Not verified in fetch.

Caution

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Verify inerrancy stance.

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not highlighted.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Not verified; 'everyday relationship with Jesus' framing is light.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Team of six named lead pastors (Brad Cooper, Michael Mullikin, Tyler Tatum, David Hall, Lee McDerment, Riley Cummings) appear male.

All-male lead pastor team; SBC complementarian.

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Post-Perry-Noble recovery period; documented abuse-of-power history from founder era (removed 2016). Team-lead model put in place after that.

WARNING!

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Noble era = topical/motivational; team era continues similar style.

WARNING!

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

'Everyone everywhere... everyday relationship with Jesus' — simple evangelistic framing.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Not verified.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

SBC — SC Baptist Convention-listed church.

Caution

Sources & Evidence

Enrichment Notes

Perry Noble founder-era abuse/coverup is a meaningful historical black mark per rubric's Seacoast/Elevation/Hillsong warning pattern — current leadership distanced but model persists.

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.
