Enrichment Notes

Domain returns generic non-denominational content with no Lutheran indicators. Prior audits caught Good Shepherd Lutheran Raleigh as ELCA mis-tagged — this Grace Lutheran Raleigh entry needs URL re-verification AND LCMS-locator check before any green rating.

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.
