Enrichment Notes

Address in directory (1235 S 101st St Milwaukee) is wrong; Brooklife is at 857 S Rochester St, Mukwonago WI. Update address AND flag: church is egalitarian (woman Elder Chair), so overall_rating downgraded from yellow to red. | URL research: Site verified; church is in Mukwonago WI (857 S Rochester St) not Milwaukee. Mukwonago is in greater Milwaukee metro. Record's 1235 S 101st St Milwaukee address does not match.

These are the URLs consulted to arrive at this church's scoring. Score-note claims are synthesized from homepage content, denominational directories, and public statements of faith at the time of review.
