Enrichment Notes

[2026-05-09 verify-sweep skipped: fbcshawnee.com home loaded but staff sub-page returned 404; multiple staff/about path attempts failed. Heritage Church + FBC Shawnee replanted as one congregation in Nov 2022 per search; current senior pastor name not surfaced from primary source. Note: Gary Pauley listed first on staff but title was just 'Pastor' not 'Senior'.]

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.

Transparency note: MOOP ratings are researcher judgments about publicly available theological and ecclesial evidence. They are not infallible. If a church's public posture has changed since our review, or if we've mis-read evidence, tell us — we publish corrections.
