Reliability Tier3
A general encyclopedia entry, used here only for its infobox membership figure, which the article attributes to the denomination's own 2024 reporting; the same tier already assigned to the United Methodist Church Wikipedia entry this axis reuses for the same reason, an aggregator of a primary church-reported statistic rather than a primary source itself.
