10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Beliefs: 'one God...manifested in three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit)' — Trinitarian orthodox. Held green.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

'The Bible is God's primary way of speaking to us today'; divine inspiration and authority; inerrancy not explicitly worded but high view affirmed.

Strong

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not mentioned on About page.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

'We are saved by God's grace through our faith' as 'a free gift of God' — sola fide explicit. Held green.

Strong

Gender / Biblical Design

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

'God designed marriage to be a union between one male and one female'; sex within male-female marriage only; members called to 'submit to the wisdom of God's design' even when desires differ — strong complementarian-aligned biblical sexuality. Upgrade to green.

Non-Denominational — verify local stance

Strong

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Lead Pastor Chad Moore (male) teaches live at Gilbert campus weekly; multi-site structure.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Authenticity-themed messaging; Outreach Magazine calls it 'culture of authenticity.' Topical/cultural-application style likely.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

'Help people meet, know and follow Jesus'; values of authenticity, community, generosity.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Traditional sexual ethics + biblical-design submission language; no DEI/CRT markers — upgrade to green.

Strong

Accountability Structure

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

Non-denominational community church; multi-site; no confessional body — held yellow.

Caution
