10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Doctrine page affirms one God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, Holy Spirit — classic Trinitarianism.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Explicitly states Scriptures are 'inerrant as originally given' and 'verbally inspired by God' — Chicago-Statement equivalent.

Strong

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

R44 refetch confirms: Ministries navigation lists Kids, Youth, Young Adults, Buddies — no dedicated men's ministry page/link visible. Red stands.

WARNING!

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Doctrine page affirms Christ 'died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice' — orthodox substitutionary atonement.

Strong

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Not stated on available pages — CMA USA has denominationally debated women elders; verify local policy in person.

Lead Pastor Alex Chang; gender/elder policy not stated on site

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Lead Pastor Alex Chang named; 'Our Team' page exists but elder/plurality structure not visible on homepage — verify in person.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Sermons available but site does not characterize approach as expository/topical — verify.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

CMA is historically missions-driven; page emphasizes 'bringing hope' and Great Commission-style outreach (Refugee Resettlement, ESL).

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Refugee Resettlement and ESL ministries listed with no DEI/CRT framing; neutral.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Christian and Missionary Alliance is a visible denomination but CMA has drifted on some second-tier issues; yellow.

Caution

Assessment

Princeton Alliance is a large, multi-ethnic CMA church in Plainsboro led by Lead Pastor Alex Chang. CMA roots emphasize missions and Great Commission focus. Strong alignment with evangelical convictions, though verify current local stance on elder-level gender policy (CMA USA has debated).
