Enrichment Notes

URL placeholder issue — need church-specific site. [2026-05-16 location fix: church is actually in Tucson, not Phoenix. Slug retained for URL stability; address updated. Needs full street address verification.]

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.

Transparency note: MOOP ratings are researcher judgments about publicly available theological and ecclesial evidence. They are not infallible. If a church's public posture has changed since our review, or if we've mis-read evidence, tell us — we publish corrections.
