Gender / Biblical Design

The Rev. Lane Cowin is listed as ordained clergy ('The Rev.') serving as Senior Director of Ministries — female ordained priest/deacon confirmed. Per rubric (women pastors/elders = red). Prior assumption that ACNA Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic 'is solid' must be qualified: DOMA permits female ordination to diaconate and (in some parishes) priesthood.
Dan Marotta Rector (male); Lane Cowin female ordained clergy as Senior Director of Ministries; Ben Lansing male Deacon; Tee Feyrer and Will Clark male College Ministers.
WARNING!
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
Ordained clergy: Rev. Dan Marotta (Rector), Rev. Lane Cowin (Senior Director of Ministries, female), Rev. Ben Lansing (Deacon), Rev. Tee Feyrer (Campus Director), Rev. Will Clark (VCU College Minister). Bishop: Rt. Rev. Christopher S. Warner.
Caution
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Verify expository vs topical.
Caution
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
Verify Great Commission focus.
Caution
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
Verify cultural alignment.
Caution
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
ACNA Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic — Bishop Christopher Warner. ACNA is orthodox on scripture/creed but DOMA's permissive stance on female clergy is a yellow/red signal depending on rubric sensitivity.

Sources & Evidence
Enrichment Notes

MAJOR FINDINGS: (1) Correct URL is redeemerrva.org, not redeemerrichmond.com. (2) Female ordained clergy (Rev. Lane Cowin) present. Per batch priors note ('ACNA Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic is solid'), this challenges that prior — DOMA does permit female ordination in practice. Overall moves from yellow to red given confirmed ordained female clergy.

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.
