10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Acts 29 requires Trinitarian orthodoxy; church emphasizes 'the way of Jesus' and biblical immersion — likely orthodox but creed not named on site.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Acts 29 network requires inerrancy affirmation; church site describes itself as 'Bible based' — inferred green via network, verify on church's own beliefs page.

Strong

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not visible on fetched homepage — verify.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Acts 29 affirms Reformed soteriology; Crump has preached sola-fide publicly — likely green via network.

Strong

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Acts 29 is complementarian (male-only elders/pastors); Crump has publicly affirmed complementarianism — yellow/green.

Verify

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Elder-led per Acts 29 standards; Crump as dominant teaching voice; leadership page exists.

Strong

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Crump known for cultural-apologetics/expository blend; 'Purple Church' series on navigating cultural division — mixed expository-topical.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Diversity-forward mission ('Revelation 7:9 — every nation, tribe, people'); gospel-proclamation framing.

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Crump emphasizes race/ethnicity/cultural engagement; has used social-justice adjacent language in past writings (e.g., 'Renovate'); borderline — yellow caution for MOOP audience given rubric's DEI sensitivity.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

Live homepage emphasizes 'He loves first and then invites us to discover the joy of following Him' — accepting/welcoming framing without explicit doctrinal statement, leadership roster, or Acts 29 affiliation visible on the rendered page. Léonce Crump cultural-engagement track-record still warrants yellow. No wayback snapshot available.

Caution

Assessment

Renovation Church Atlanta — planted by Leonce Crump Jr. in 2011 with a launch team of 35. Started at King Middle School in Grant Park.

Rebranded from Renovation Church Atlanta; Leonce Crump Jr. remains co-founder and senior pastor; congregation is reportedly ~75% new since the transition.
