10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Affirms deity of Christ. Orthodox Christology.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Stanley publicly advocates 'unhitching' Christianity from the Old Testament.

WARNING!

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Groups available but no dedicated men's discipleship with theological depth.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Generally orthodox but lacks clarity on repentance and lordship.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Progressive on sexuality. Has said church should welcome gay couples.

WARNING!

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Well-organized multi-site structure.

Strong

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Topical, communicator-driven. Not expository. Prioritizes relevance over depth.

WARNING!

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Strong outreach through North Point Network.

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

R39 confirmed: homepage (Apr 2026) surfaces no retraction of Stanley's 'unhitching' framing or 2023 Unconditional Conference stance. Red holds. Mission language emphasizes 'practical faith' and 'meaning and direction' over explicit gospel proclamation.

WARNING!

Accountability Structure

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

Non-denominational with no external accountability.

Caution

Assessment

North Point is one of America's largest churches (50,000 attendance) under Andy Stanley. However, Stanley's 'unhitching from the OT' statements and progressive stance on homosexuality represent serious departures from biblical orthodoxy. Topical preaching, not expository. Not recommended for men seeking deep biblical discipleship.
