Directory lists as SBC but Discovery Church Orlando is non-denominational. Seeker-sensitive 'relevant ministry environments' language raises yellow-to-red concern pending 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.
