Enrichment Notes
Verified via OGBBC official congregations directory + Wikipedia. Specific ordained leaders not published — OGBBC bodies traditionally do not publicize minister rosters.

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.
