Enrichment Notes

SBC affiliation confirmed. Minimal website content; most doctrinal dimensions remain yellow pending in-person verification.

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.
