Enrichment Notes

Website unreachable; relied on external sources. California Graduate School of Theology is an unaccredited institution. 40+-year founder tenure = single dominant personality. Denominational red for lack of accountability structure.

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.
