Enrichment Notes

Batch ID prefix 'efca-' is misleading — Northwest Bible Dallas is NOT EFCA. It's an independent Bible church. ID should be relabeled.

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.
