10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Orthodox Trinitarian Christology affirmed in Core Beliefs.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Explicit inerrancy affirmed: 'Inerrancy means the Bible never contradicts itself in its teaching about God, the world, or humankind.' Also affirms infallibility; Bible is 'God-breathed' and 'altogether trustworthy.'

Strong

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Men's ministry not explicitly detailed on beliefs page; verify.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Salvation by grace through faith; Core Beliefs align with Protestant sola fide.

Strong

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Complementarian explicitly affirmed: 'The theological term for this position is Complementarianism.' Elder/Pastor role reserved for men; women encouraged to lead in non-elder capacities.

Explicitly Complementarian; elder/pastor role reserved for men; plural male elders govern by consensus

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Plural-elder governance: 'the local church is to be overseen and protected by a group of godly men called elders.' Elders govern by consensus, not voting.

Strong

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Expository/biblical preaching emphasis.

Strong

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Great Commission focus; gospel-centered.

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

No DEI/CRT/affirming language; traditional biblical positions.

Strong

Accountability Structure

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

Homepage shows evangelical structure (Worship, Kids, Students, Groups, Missions) with 'What is the Gospel' page; full beliefs page not captured in this pass but prior notes (explicit complementarian, plural-elder governance, inerrancy) stand from deeper fetch history.

Caution

Enrichment Notes

Upgrade to green overall — this is a textbook strong-indie: explicit complementarianism named, plural elders, explicit inerrancy. Only denominational yellow because purely non-denom with no external network tie found.

These are the URLs consulted to arrive at this church's scoring. Score-note claims are synthesized from homepage content, denominational directories, and public statements of faith at the time of review. Church websites change frequently; we're progressively adding Internet Archive snapshots to prevent link rot.
