10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Baptist assumed.

Caution

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Website references a 'Statement of Beliefs' page but only 1 John 1:5 is visible on the homepage — verify beliefs page directly.

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Website lists a women's ministry but no corresponding men's ministry program — remains not confirmed.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Unknown specifics.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Male pastor (Rev. Dr. Gary Carr). Church has both deacons and deaconesses — verify whether deaconess role is service-oriented (traditional) or pastoral-teaching (egalitarian).

Male pastor (Rev. Dr. Gary Carr).

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Homepage confirms 'Deacon and Deaconess Meeting' as regular event. Deaconess role in historically Black Baptist tradition is typically a service/hospitality office rather than a pastoral/teaching office — not a definitive egalitarian marker but warrants verification.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Not reviewed.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Body of baptized believers, prayer and praise.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Unknown.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Homepage does not state Baptist convention affiliation (NBC, PNBC, SBC, or independent). Statement of Beliefs link present but not accessible on fetch.

Caution

Assessment

Shiloh New Site Baptist Church in Stafford is led by Rev. Dr. Gary Carr. The church describes itself as 'a body of baptized believers that serve God and His people with daily prayer and praise.' Male pastoral leadership is a positive sign. Limited online theological information — call or visit to assess doctrinal alignment.
