Assessment
North Phoenix Baptist Church is a solid SBC church led by Dr. Noe Garcia, who holds both an MDiv from Gateway Seminary and a DMin from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (Al Mohler's SBTS). The SBTS credential in particular signals strong complementarian, conservative evangelical theology. SBC denomination provides accountability. Garcia's dual seminary training suggests serious theological investment. Arizona SBC and national SBC affiliation. Strong prospect.
