Enrichment Notes

Original website (veritascolumbus.com) redirects to veritascolumbus.church; listed on TGC Columbus churches page (suggests Gospel Coalition alignment) but no explicit Acts 29/9Marks/Founders affiliation verified.

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.
