10-Point Theological Scorecard
Christology
Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)
Not stated on available sources — 'What We Believe' link present; homepage references John 8:31-32 but no creedal Trinity quote on public pages fetched.
Strong
Scripture
Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?
Bible-believing evangelical posture; inerrancy typically affirmed.
Strong
Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
Not stated on available sources — no men's-specific ministry detail.
Caution
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
Historic evangelical gospel of grace through faith alone.
Strong
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?
Male pastoral leadership observed; complementarian baseline (CBMW halfway position; MOOP holds patriarchal headship as the biblical standard).
Caution
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
Male pastor(s) confirmed via church website.
Strong
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Not stated on available sources — sermon info not detailed on homepage.
Strong
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
'Build an authentic, worshiping community of believers from the un-churched population of North Buffalo that they might reach others also' — evangelistic focus.
Strong
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
'Justice' vocabulary found only in Psalm 82:3 quotation ('Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute') — traditional biblical-justice framing, not CRT/DEI. Cultural score holds green.
Strong
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
SBC — 'What We Believe' page not loaded on homepage fetch; Bible-study emphasis and Ephesians 1:11-12 predestination reference suggest Reformed-leaning SBC orthodoxy.
Strong

Enrichment Notes
'Justice work' phrase in Great Commission Team description is ambiguous — could be biblical or progressive framing; warrants follow-up.
