The main thing is part of their doctrinal statement bothers me... namely this:
We also believe that God in His unparalleled love and mercy has chosen to elect some people for salvation.
We believe that the salvation of the elect was predestined by God in eternity past.
We believe that God's saving grace is ultimately irresistible and that God does soften even the hardest heart and save the worst of sinners according to His will.
This portion of their doctrinal statement gives the aroma of one who tiptoes through the tulips, if you know what I mean.
In our efforts to reach as many people we can, let's be careful of what we embrace and who we hitch our wagons to. Our culture changes every 15 minutes, and we have to be versatile, but let's be careful not to drift into the waters of heresy while trying to avoid the rocks of ineffectual ministry.

Yeah, that Calvinism is a new doctrine from our ever changing culture. Or, it is the heart of the reformation of Luther and Calvin. And, the greatest revivals in the history of the world were lead or co-lead by Calvinists: Edwards, Whitfield, Puritans.
Do your homework, sir
