Enrichment Notes

Same pattern as prior-round Pearland TX URL-to-wrong-church mismatch. Directory should either re-point URL to the actual Temple TX church or delete entry. [2026-05-09 verify-sweep skipped: DOMAIN MISMATCH: newhopetemplebc.org Meet Our Pastor page lists Rev. Dr. John Coger as Senior Pastor 31+ years, but Our Mission page confirms church is at 312 W Manheim St, Philadelphia, PA 19144, NOT Temple, TX. Directory entry 'New Hope Baptist Church of Temple' (Temple, TX) appears to have wrong website assigned or be misclassified. Recommend directory entry review before assigning a pastor.]

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.
