Scripture
Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Strong
Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
No dedicated men's ministry surfaced in homepage ministries list (Children/Youth/Adult/Music/Missions).
Caution
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
BF&M 2000 soteriology — salvation by grace through faith; substitutionary atonement.
Strong
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?
/faith-and-message page explicitly states 'the office of pastor is limited to men as qualified by Scripture' — complementarian confirmed.
Not stated on available sources — SBCV affiliation presumes complementarian; verify in person

Caution
Cultural Alignment

Caution
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
SBC-style BF&M 2000 adoption — strong conservative accountability. SBCV affiliation per record; homepage this pass did not re-cite SBCV by name.

Enrichment Notes

Previously-unretrievable /faith-and-message page now yields concrete evidence: full BF&M 2000 adoption with explicit inerrancy language and male-only pastorate. Upgrades christology/scripture/soteriology/gender from yellow to green and the overall from yellow to green.
