Enrichment Notes

Correct address: 806 Government St. SSL cert expired on main site at time of fetch. CBF + 'Traditional Yet Progressive' tagline is a clear progressive-mainline signal. | URL research: matched FBC Mobile; church website lists 806 Government St not 2 N Royal St — input address may be historical
