Caution
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
Ritchie identified as Lead Pastor via bio and FaithStreet; broader elder structure not confirmed.
Caution
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Current series 'The Wonder of Grace' with Jared Peddy as speaker; tagline 'DECLARING AND DISPLAYING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS' — orthodox-sounding gospel framing.
Caution
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
Stated as 'declaring and displaying the gospel,' 'transformation of culture within the city' — orthodox mission language.
Caution
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
'Wonderfully Made' ministry listed (could be disability ministry — unclear); no overt DEI/CRT markers.
Caution
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
Site references 'Redeemer Network' (external link redeemernetwork.org) — network tie surfaced this pass. No confessional/denominational affiliation named; elder roster still not visible. Network tie alone insufficient to flip from RED — kept RED pending confessional and elder-plurality evidence.
