10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

'EXALT Jesus Christ' mission framing — Christocentric.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

KJV-preferred, 'fundamental Bible preaching (KJV)' per site content — high view of Scripture but KJV-preference noted.

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not stated on available sources — verify in person.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

'Sound Bible preaching and teaching' framing.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Pastor Dale Montgomery (male lead); complementarian framework likely per SBC heritage.

Verify

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Elders not listed on accessible pages.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

'Doctrinal preaching without all the modern hoopla and theatrics' — traditional fundamental Baptist.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Door-to-door evangelism is an active, named outreach practice.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

No DEI/CRT signals; 'weekly door to door evangelism' suggests traditional conservative Baptist culture.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Website content identifies as Independent Baptist with KJV-preferred, 'fundamental Bible preaching' — NOT SBC as directory listed. Correcting denomination. No denominational accountability.

Caution

Assessment

National directory entry — web-verified pastor, website, and Facebook. Visit website for full theological details.
