10-Point Theological Scorecard
Christology
Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)
SBC BF&M 2000 — orthodox Trinitarian.
Strong
Scripture
Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?
SBC BF&M 2000 — 'truth, without any mixture of error' on Scripture = functional inerrancy.
Strong
Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
Not prominently listed.
Caution
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
SBC BF&M — salvation by grace through faith; substitutionary atonement affirmed.
Strong
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?
BF&M 2000: 'While both men and women are gifted for service in the church, the office of pastor is limited to men as qualified by Scripture' — complementarian; Jason Wilson is male lead; verify local implementation.

Caution
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
Homepage references 'pastors and staff' but no elder roster or detailed polity shown on homepage; Pastor Jason Wilson confirmed. Standard SBC deacon-led polity presumed.
Caution
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Homepage features Daniel sermon series by Pastor Jason Wilson ('Are Angels and Demons Real? || Daniel - Part 10') — confirms book-by-book expository approach.
Caution
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
SBC IMB/NAMB cooperative missions.
Strong
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
Post-2023 SBC has doubled down on complementarianism (Saddleback expulsion); no CRT/DEI found on site. | GREEN signal: Pastor Jason Wilson 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.
Strong
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
SBC — confessional denomination (BF&M 2000) = green per refined rubric.
