Enrichment Notes

CRITICAL MISCATEGORIZATION: existing record tagged denomination='SBC' but church is CBF with explicit women-pastors affirmation and open communion. Major correction required — overall rating should flip from whatever it was to RED.

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.
