Sources & Evidence

Enrichment Notes

Listing is spurious. The Arlington VA Our Savior (825 S Taylor) is a real LCMS church but at a different address. No 1500 Gallatin DC LCMS exists. Mark dead; consider re-creating record under correct Arlington address as a separate entry.

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.
