Never join a church which hides its beliefs. If there is no formal statement of faith, avoid the church at all costs!
Secondly, if the statement of faith is so bare bones that it says practically nothing, avoid the church at all costs. We vote with our feet. Never give a thumbs up for a church which might or might not be orthodox, evangelical and reformed in doctrine.
Thirdly, make sure that the church still believes its own confession of faith. Often an official adherence to a confessional faith is no guarantee that the church still preaches and teaches the Scriptures from which such a confession is derived.

Sound advice.

This article, if noted, would preclude involvement with ACNA-fudgers and deniers of Reformation theology. I'm aboard with this article.
