10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Not explicitly stated on homepage.

Caution

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

'The Bible is our foundation' — no inerrancy language.

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not surfaced.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

'Jesus is our answer' — broad evangelical framing without confessional precision.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Aaron and Katie Burke as launch couple; specific staff gender balance not fully verified but Outreach 100 multi-site pattern typically includes female pastors.

Verify

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Aaron Burke dominant founder-personality; no elder accountability visible on homepage.

WARNING!

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Core values framing ('Jesus is our answer', 'Worship is our Lifestyle') is seeker-sensitive topical, not expository.

WARNING!

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

'Move people towards Christ, community & calling' — broad outreach framing.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Broad contemporary-charismatic evangelical.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Non-denominational multi-site; ARC-adjacent growth pattern though formal ARC affiliation not confirmed here.

WARNING!
