10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

EPC Westminster Standards Trinitarian.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

EPC affirms Westminster Confession including Scripture's inerrancy.

Strong

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Men's ministry explicitly confirmed on homepage: 'young adults', women's, and men's ministries'.

Strong

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Reformed sola fide per Westminster Confession.

Strong

Gender / Biblical Design

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

PCA denomination (not EPC as previously flagged) — male-only teaching and ruling elders per BCO. Sandy Willson and George Robertson male senior pastors. Complementarian per PCA confession.

EPC permits women elders at local-session option; 2PC has Women in Ministry staff division — specific ordination status of women not verified on homepage.

Strong

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Dr. George Robertson as senior pastor (Covenant College, Covenant Seminary, Westminster Theological Seminary PhD); plural elder session typical of EPC.

Strong

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Robertson's sermon 'God Is in Your Crisis' reflects expository-pastoral tradition.

Strong

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

'Retell The Gospel, Reimagine The Church and City, Repair What Is Broken' — gospel-centered urban mission.

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Theologically conservative EPC congregation.

Strong

Accountability Structure

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

Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) — confessional Reformed body affirming Westminster Standards with male-only ordained office.

Strong

Assessment

Second Presbyterian Church in Memphis, TN. Note: search results indicate this may be EPC (Evangelical Presbyterian Church) rather than PCA as listed. Rev. Courtnay Veazey was called as Pastor and Head of Staff in June 2025. If EPC, the denomination is more moderate than PCA — allows women's ordination at local option. Verify denomination affiliation (PCA vs EPC) as this significantly affects theological assessment.

Enrichment Notes

EPC is broadly conservative Reformed but has 'local option' on women's ordination — yellow gender rating reflects uncertainty. Robertson is a well-respected conservative EPC voice.
