it's always better for a Christian org to straight up say what they believe so there's no misunderstandings, and to establish that their faith convictions come first and cultural engagement comes second.
100% this.
When I was a kid there weren't all these non-denominational churches and it was much easier to know what you were in for. Now, most churches do have a statement of faith and if you know enough about the different branches in the Protestant tree you can figure it out but most people do NOT know this stuff.
I say this as someone that is deeply evolved in a non-denominational church. Its often the case that we over-correct. I think we are in the early stages of realizing maybe the protestant non-denominational movement was an over-correction. I get why it became the trend. I dislike fracturing in the church on sometimes superficial issues. I don't think we weight disagreements very well. But, in times like this it is VERY important to know what we agree on and where we disagree.
If you don't state it yourself, someone else will and they will straw man you.
