10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Non-denominational church; 'God is the creator and sustainer' — Trinitarian orthodox framing.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

No inerrancy language; church emphasizes corporate worship, spiritual growth, and 'kindness as central.' Held yellow.

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Men's ministry confirmed (Groups, Events, Connection Groups) alongside Women's. Held yellow pending leadership specifics.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Generic: 'Christian seeks to constantly grow in submission to God, with God's love as chiefly shown through Jesus Christ making us acceptable to Him' — faith-oriented but thin.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Not published on loaded pages — verify.

Verify

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Pastor Micheal Bayne; church lists 'Leadership' section but specific elder plurality detail not public.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Verify expository vs topical.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

'Lead people to become growing followers of Jesus' — discipleship framing.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Notable framing on accessible content: 'The heart of the Christian faith isn't a list of rules or set of beliefs — it's kindness' — anti-doctrinal framing is a yellow flag (rules/beliefs dismissed in favor of affect). Not red per rubric (no DEI/CRT/affirming/Comer language) but caution. Held yellow.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

No denominational affiliation surfaced; non-denominational self-identity confirmed. Held red.

Enrichment Notes

CORRECTION: Church self-describes as non-denominational, not SBC. Denominational downgraded to red per refined rubric.

These are the URLs consulted to arrive at this church's scoring. Score-note claims are synthesized from homepage content, denominational directories, and public statements of faith at the time of review. Church websites change frequently; we're progressively adding Internet Archive snapshots to prevent link rot.
