Enrichment Notes

Homepage fetch failed socket; scores remain yellow with honest 'not stated' [2026-05-09 verify-se sweep: fbcjax.net repeatedly closed socket unexpectedly during fetch attempts on root, /staff, /staff/, /our-staff, /leadership, /about. WebSearch surfaced no current senior pastor name for the NC location (results dominated by FBC Jacksonville FL = Dr. Heath Lambert, a different church). FaithStreet listing exists but no pastor name. Could not confirm.] [2026-05-09 verify-sweep skipped: fbcjax.net repeatedly socket-closed on every staff/leadership/about endpoint. WebSearch returned only FL location (different church). No corroborating denominational directory or news article surfaced a current senior pastor name.]

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.
