10-Point Theological Scorecard
Christology
Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)
Trinitarian, gospel-affirming church.
Strong
Scripture
Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?
Church covenant affirms traditional Baptist commitments; KJV-1611 posture indicates high-Scripture stance though formal inerrancy language not surfaced.
Caution
Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
Verify men's ministry.
Caution
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
'The Roman Road' salvation presentation confirmed — personal faith in Christ; classic Baptist sola fide.
Caution
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?
Ladies Prayer Group and Ladies Table Talk listed; no women in pastoral/teaching roles observed. IFB tradition is complementarian.

Verify
Caution
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
Verify elder/pastor structure.
Caution
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
KJV-only IFB pulpit — topical/expository mix typical of tradition.
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?
CORRECTION: Church self-identifies as 'Independent - Fundamental' using KJV 1611 — NOT SBC. No SBC affiliation or BFM2000 reference. Rev. Mike Patton Senior Pastor since March 1993. Prior SBC tagging was incorrect. Yellow holds (IFB independent, no external accountability body).
