2026-04-23 deep-dive: newriverbt.com still has self-signed SSL cert error blocking WebFetch. Wayback returns no snapshots. Alternate URLs either ECONNREFUSED or resolved to a London UK church. Cannot verify Pastor Brandon Crosier or doctrine. Holding yellow — listed SBC affiliation remains best available signal.

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.
