Gender / Biblical Design

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

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

BGAV affiliate (moderate Baptist). BGAV itself is broader than SBC and includes some congregations with egalitarian practice — verify Southridge's specific stance.

Caution

Assessment

South Ridge Church is an autonomous, non-denominational church with BGAV affiliation, governed by a board of elders. Led by Rev. Jeff Geyer as Lead Pastor. The elder governance is a positive sign of accountability. However, BGAV affiliation and modern church branding warrant further investigation of theological positions.
