Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Bible-believing evangelical posture; inerrancy typically affirmed.

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Dedicated Men's Ministry page confirmed on site navigation — yellow holds pending depth.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Historic evangelical gospel of grace through faith alone.

Strong

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Male pastoral leadership observed; complementarian baseline (CBMW halfway position; MOOP holds patriarchal headship as the biblical standard).

Caution

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Male pastor(s) confirmed via church website.

Strong

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Sunday 10:30 service features 'solid Bible teaching combined with contemporary music incorporating traditional hymns' — Bible-centered posture; expository methodology not explicitly named.

Strong

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Described as community of 'personal relationships with Him and as a faith community' — relational/Bible-centered framing; no explicit Great Commission text.

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

No DEI/CRT vocabulary visible; welcomes 'diverse backgrounds' in community framing only.

Strong

Accountability Structure

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

Homepage confirms 'independent, non-denominational church' — no external denominational accountability; elder plurality not surfaced on homepage. Prior green for 'denominational' not substantiated by this fetch — consider downgrade to yellow pending elders/polity page review.

Strong
