Enrichment Notes

[2026-05-18] Promoted via Phase 6b (Phase 3 speaker home-church curation). Speaker(s): Melissa Kruger. Conferences: TGC National Conference. Live-fetch + 10-dim scoring + signatory check pending. [2026-05-18] Phase 6 denom auto-detect from name: "verify" → "PCA (Presbyterian Church in America)". [2026-05-19] Phase 6f live-fetch verdict: 404. Site does not resolve to a working church homepage. [2026-05-19] Restored from RED to yellow: church may use Facebook or other social channel instead of website. Per MOOP policy, dead-website-only is not a doctrinal red flag. [2026-05-19] FB-finder live-search: official Facebook page identified at https://www.facebook.com/UptownChurchPCA. Church may use this as primary online presence in lieu of a working website.

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.
