Enrichment Notes

[2026-05-09 verify-se sweep: confirmed via fbcbartlett.com/our-staff/. NOTE: this is FBC of Bartlett TEXAS (page reads 'in Bartlett, Texas and neighboring communities'). MOOP directory has it filed under Bartlett TN — this appears to be a city/state misclassification in the directory; the website fbcbartlett.com is FBC Bartlett TX. The Tennessee Bartlett FBC operates a separate site at firstbaptistchurchbartlett.org which did not surface a confirmed pastor name during this sweep. Recommend disambiguation by directory maintainer.]

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.
