10-Point Theological Scorecard
Christology
Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)
Beliefs page affirms Trinity — Father/Son/Holy Spirit eternally distinct and fully divine.
Strong
Scripture
Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?
'The Bible is the authoritative and inerrant Word of God.' Explicit inerrancy.
Strong
Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
Not highlighted on reviewed pages.
Caution
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
Substitutionary atonement stated: Jesus 'died...bearing the sin and punishment of all mankind' — by grace through faith.
Strong
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?
Per ChurchClarity the church is 'non-egalitarian'; website does not publish full policy. Lead pastor male; women's-pastor question unresolved in public docs.
ChurchClarity lists TPCC as non-egalitarian; lead pastor is male (Aaron Brockett). Specific policy on women elders/preachers not published on main site.
Caution
Leadership Structure
Male elders/pastors? Accountability?
Lead Pastor Aaron Brockett since 2007; multi-site with executive team — details of elder plurality not public on main pages.
Caution
Preaching Style
Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Megachurch topical-expository mix typical of Independent Christian Churches.
Caution
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?
'All are free to belong before they believe' inclusion language alongside evangelism framing.
Caution
Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
Inclusion rhetoric ('everyone's welcome...regardless of whether you believe what we believe') sits in tension with conservative gender stance — no overt DEI/CRT.
Caution
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
About, elders, who-we-are, and staff pages did not expose an elder roster (either 404 or log-in-gated Rock RMS). Beliefs page affirms inerrancy and substitutionary atonement but no named elder plurality surfaced, no external network (Acts 29, 9Marks, TGC, Founders) named. Restoration Movement heritage is non-confessional. Kept RED pending public elder roster.
