10-Point Theological Scorecard
Christology
Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)
SBC — orthodox via BF&M 2000.
Strong
Scripture
Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?
Verify inerrancy stance.
Strong
Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
Not documented on available pages.
Caution
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
Verify faith-alone soteriology.
Strong
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?
SBC complementarian default; deacon-role discussions documented via xpastor piece on deacons at Ingleside.
SBC complementarian default (CBMW halfway position; MOOP holds patriarchal headship as the biblical standard)
Caution
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
Senior Pastor Dr. Tim McCoy (announced retirement June 2024); Executive Pastor Andy Johnson; lead pastor search ongoing per Christian Index.
Caution
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Style not documented specifically on scraped content.
Caution
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
SBC cooperative program participation.
Strong
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
Described as 'large, healthy, growing, and progressive' (institutional sense — growing/Outreach Magazine style); no DEI/CRT language observed. | GREEN signal: Pastor Dr. Tim McCoy is a public signatory of "The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel" (the 2018 "Dallas Statement," statementonsocialjustice.com), the post-2018 Big Eva line in the sand against CRT, woke evangelicalism, and feminized social justice. Verified via Wayback Machine snapshots. Per the "people is policy" principle, this is a strong positive marker of orthodox conservative-Reformed conviction.
Caution
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
Confirmed SBC via SBC.net directory.
