10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Trinitarian, gospel-affirming church.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Verify inerrancy stance.

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Verify men's ministry.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Verify faith-alone soteriology.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

No women in pastoral roles; pastor's wife serves as church secretary; all deacons male per leadership page.

Male-only pastor and deacons; complementarian practice

Strong

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Pastor + four deacons (Knox, Covil, Devadanam, Murry); no elder structure; single-pastor founding (Matthew Walker planted 2003).

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Homepage: 'committed to exegetical preaching, sacred worship and evangelizing the world' — exegetical commitment affirmed.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Multiple ministries visible: Children's, Adult, Indian, Korean, Missions — multi-ethnic reach.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

No DEI/CRT markers on homepage.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Homepage does not name SBC affiliation; prior-batch finding (Maranatha/Bob Jones lineage, Independent Fundamental Baptist) stands — denominational mislabel preserved as red.
