10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

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

Trinitarian, classic Baptist orthodoxy.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

King James Only — affirms KJV as the preserved English Scripture; this position rejects modern critical-text translations and is broadly considered an unsustainable bibliology by most evangelical scholars. Yellow.

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Verify.

Strong

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Reformed-leaning Baptist soteriology common in Independent Baptist KJV stream — verify on doctrinal statement.

Strong

Gender / Biblical Design

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

Complementarian — male-only pastorate.

IFB KJV-Only stream complementarian — male-only pastorate.

Strong

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Single-pastor IFB structure with limited external accountability typical of Independent Baptist polity. No visible plurality of elders.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Verify on SermonAudio archive (broadcaster: wordofgodbaptist).

Strong

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Local KJV evangelism focus.

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

KJV-Only / 'old paths' stream has well-documented institutional-abuse patterns broadly across the IFB movement; recommend reading Religion News Service IFB exposés before joining.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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

No formal fellowship membership visible — pure Independent Baptist polity.

Caution

Assessment

King George County KJV-Only Independent Baptist church (mailing address in Montross). Pastor Andrew Pickens. Yellow cultural rating per general drift-watch on the IFB KJV-Only stream's documented abuse history — not specific to this congregation.
