Strict No-Sharing Policy: No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service or our church management communication platform, is permitted solely to deliver our ministry services to you. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

Pastoral & Prayer Requests: Prayer requests will only be shared with our pastoral staff or designated prayer teams in accordance with the privacy preferences you select when submitting the request.

Security: We implement industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure.
