10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Not detailed on homepage; 'What We Believe' page exists but content not publicly loaded in fetch. Presumed orthodox SBC but unverified.

Caution

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

SBC affiliation implies BF&M 2000 adoption; page describes 'Bible-teaching, family-friendly' but no explicit inerrancy statement extracted.

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Men's ministry confirmed in site navigation (/men).

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

No explicit substitutionary atonement language extracted; SBC affiliation presumes standard evangelical soteriology.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Lead Pastor Josh Allen (male); Executive Pastor Lance Crowell (male); Worship Pastor Logan Doak (male); Student/Outreach Pastor Cy Casto (male); Kids Ministry Pastor Jared Simpson (male). Women on staff carry 'Minister' titles in non-elder roles: Suzie Prizer (Women's Minister), Debbie Richardson (Minister to Parents), Andrea Hancock (Weekday Preschool Minister) — SBC ministerial titles, no women senior/teaching pastors. Complementarian alignment consistent with SBC.

Male Lead Pastor Josh Allen; no women pastors identified; complementarian presumption per SBC BF&M 2000

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Lead Pastor Josh Allen named; broader elder/plurality structure not visible on homepage.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Described as 'Bible-teaching' but specific expository claim not stated in fetched content.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

'Help all generations follow Jesus Christ' — generic but orthodox.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

No DEI/CRT language observed in public pages; no affirming language.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Confirmed SBC affiliation; TGC church directory listing found.

Enrichment Notes

TGC-listed, SBC, seminary-trained — lean green, but public pages too thin on doctrinal specifics to confirm expository/elder-led.

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.
