Gender / Biblical Design

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

Complementarian per BFM2000; Graham publicly defends male-only pastor teaching.

BFM2000 complementarian; male senior pastor.

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Jack Graham senior pastor since 1989 (35+ years); strong personality-driven model though within SBC polity.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Topical-expositional blend; attractional large-church style.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

SBC cooperative program; Prestonwood Pregnancy Center and significant missions.

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Prestonwood withheld 2017 SBC donation over Russell Moore/ERLC concerns; culturally conservative, pro-Trump orbit. | GREEN signal: *** INITIAL SIGNER (one of the founding 153) *** Pastor Jack Graham is a public signatory of "The Nashville Statement on Biblical Sexuality" (CBMW, 2017-08-25, cbmw.org/nashville-statement). The Nashville Statement is the post-2017 evangelical line on biblical anthropology, marriage, and sexual ethics — affirming creation order, one-man-one-woman marriage, and biblical sexuality. Signing places the pastor on the orthodox / non-affirming side of the 2017 evangelical fault line.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

SBC (BFM2000 confessional).

Assessment

Prestonwood Baptist Church at 6801 W. Park Blvd, Plano, TX 75093. Dr. Jack Graham has served as senior pastor since 1989. SBC megachurch with 45,000+ members and ~17,000 weekly attendance. Graham served as SBC president twice (2002-2004). A flagship SBC congregation with enormous resources, missions engagement, and ministry programming. Evaluate whether megachurch scale allows for genuine discipleship and pastoral care for men.
