Ratings DRAFT

These ratings are a draft for review. They are assessments based only on what this church and its denomination publish online, not official reviews or endorsements.

Gospel Clarity
2/5 · Weak
What We Believe describes the Wesleyan emphasis on Christian living and the UMC, but not the message about Jesus or salvation. A 2022 'Faith Foundations' study had a 'What is Salvation' session, but it survives only as linked slides from a past course and isn't counted. Mentions in passing; no current newcomer pathway. (Rubric per ChurchCompass, 2026-10-17) source 1 · Church website; source 2 · Church website
Elements found: 0 of 4; newcomer pathway: not found
