Enrichment Notes

/about and /our-beliefs both returned 404; homepage confirms Wilcox and Ericson via sermon credits. No formal statement of faith page accessible this round. Existing green scores on christology/scripture/gender/soteriology rely on Independent Baptist tradition inference, which is reasonable but unverified on-site.

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. Church websites change frequently; we're progressively adding Internet Archive snapshots to prevent link rot.
