Sources & Evidence

Enrichment Notes

Pulpit status ambiguous — chamber-of-commerce 2026 lists Todd Ware; older sources list Glen Money since 1997. Needs human follow-up. [2026-05-09 verify-se sweep: per FaithStreet leaders page and church history, Dr. Glen Money has served as senior pastor since 1997 (~28 years). Earlier 'Verify' note flagged conflicting Walton Chamber 2026 listing of 'Todd Ware' — could not corroborate Todd Ware on the church's own site or in any denominational record. Resolving in favor of Glen Money based on volume of corroborating sources, but recommend visual confirmation of fbcmonroe.com/about-us once accessible (fetch failed during this sweep).]
