10-Point Theological Scorecard
Christology
Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)
Trinitarian, gospel-affirming church.
Strong
Scripture
Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?
Verify inerrancy stance.
Caution
Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
Verify men's ministry.
Caution
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
Verify faith-alone soteriology.
Caution
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?
RED — Summit (J.D. Greear) has a documented practice of allowing women to preach to mixed Sunday gatherings under the 'teaching pastor' framework. Greear has publicly defended women preaching on Sunday under elder authority. This crosses the complementarian line in practice even though Summit retains male elders. Disqualifier for Top Priority.

WARNING!
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
RED — Leadership framework permits women to function as preaching/teaching pastors to mixed assemblies. Even with male elder plurality on paper, practice contradicts 1 Timothy 2:12.
WARNING!
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Verify expository vs topical.
Caution
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
Verify Great Commission focus.
Caution
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
Verify cultural alignment.
Caution
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
J.D. Greear Summit — SBC, Acts 29/TGC ties. Homepage does not expose full SOF. Known for female preaching pastor rotations on weekend — needs deeper gender audit.
