Enrichment Notes

Batch URL wrong; correct site is gospelgrace.com. Batch pastor guess 'Ryan Kelly' is wrong (different TGC pastor). Genuine plural-male founding pastorate.

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.
