10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Trinitarian, gospel-affirming church.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

PCA subscribes to Westminster Confession, affirming Scripture as 'infallible rule of faith and life.'

Strong

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Verify men's ministry.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Reformed Westminster soteriology — sola fide, sola gratia.

Strong

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Verify patriarchal / complementarian / egalitarian stance.

Verify

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Michael Keller leads Redeemer Lincoln Square per prior records; not surfaced on redeemer.com homepage (which serves the broader network). PCA polity mandates elder plurality. Hold green per denominational accountability.

Strong

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?

redeemer.com homepage emphasizes 'social justice' and 'cultural renewal' / 'build a great city for all people' — Tim Keller legacy framing. No explicit LGBTQ affirming language found. Hold yellow; Redeemer-family churches vary on cultural engagement posture.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) — confessional Reformed denomination (Westminster Standards). Green per rubric.

Strong

Enrichment Notes

Michael Keller is Tim Keller's son; PCA confessional alignment strong. Kept yellow overall pending cultural/gender specific review of Redeemer NYC trajectory (which has had Keller-family-style engagement vocabulary).
