Enrichment Notes

Homepage uses 'Elders' language which is unusual for SBC Baptist; mild positive signal for leadership plurality worth verifying. [2026-05-09 verify-sweep skipped: firstborger.org content extremely sparse (page only displays phone number); Joel Arrington listed on LinkedIn as Associate Pastor to Children (not senior). No senior pastor name surfaced from any source.]

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.
