Denomination correction: EFCA -> Independent Bible church. Church renamed to Central Bible Church — update directory name + URL.

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.
