Enrichment Notes

Leadership page surfaced pastor names (Pete Hypes + Shaun Hypes, both male). No women in pastoral office. Beliefs/statement-of-faith content still not surfaced; most yellows hold.

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.
