10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Statement of Faith covers God, Jesus, Holy Spirit — orthodox Trinitarian.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Statement of Faith affirms Scripture; Acts 29 churches typically affirm inerrancy.

Strong

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Men's specific ministry not confirmed in fetched content.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Emphasizes 'God's grace through faith alone in Christ alone' — explicit sola fide language.

Strong

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Five named elders (Gentry Morris lead, Matt Buchanan, Spiro Fotopoulos, Josh Taylor, Dave Godman) all male. Acts 29 is complementarian by charter.

Plurality of five male elders; Acts 29 complementarian charter.

Strong

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Plurality of five elders with clear names — good.

Strong

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Acts 29 norm is expository Christ-centered preaching.

Strong

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Acts 29 is a church-planting network — mission-forward.

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Acts 29 culture is generally missional/urban with mixed signals on CRT/DEI — verify locally.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Acts 29 network (confessional-adjacent) — not PCA as directory claims.

Caution

Assessment

Reston Community Church at 2620 Reston Parkway, Herndon VA 20171. Lead Pastor Gentry Morris. Listed in both SBC of Virginia and Acts 29 directories — NOT PCA as originally categorized. Denomination should be corrected. Acts 29 network churches are generally complementarian and gospel-centered. Further review of sermons and doctrinal statement needed.

Enrichment Notes

Rename directory entry: remove 'PCA' label. Acts 29 accountability is real but thinner than PCA's BCO. --- 2026-04-29 V4.9.5 cleanup: address backfilled to 2620 Reston Parkway, Herndon, VA 20171 (verified on reston.cc). Note: church meets in Herndon despite the 'Reston' brand. Sunday service 4:30 PM (single service).
