What do they mean by "foundational evangelical church." I think I can deduce what they mean by that, but I haven't heard the term before, and am not coming up with anything with my Internet searches.

AI Overview



A foundational evangelical church is built on the core theological tenets of biblical authority, conversionism (born-again experience), activism (spreading the gospel), and crucicentrism (focus on Christ’s sacrifice). These churches prioritize expository preaching and strict adherence to biblical doctrines as the ultimate authority, often emphasizing conservative, traditional, or fundamentalist interpretations of scripture
