Parents and guardians are encouraged to supervise children’s use of online resources.

Children’s ministry registrations, photographs, emergency contact information, and other sensitive records may require additional consent and privacy protections.

Notifying the Church of suspected account security issues.

We may suspend or terminate accounts when necessary to protect users, maintain security, or enforce these Terms.

10. Prayer Requests and Submitted Content

Users may voluntarily submit prayer requests, testimonies, comments, photographs, questions, or other information through our Services.

By submitting content, you represent that you have the right to provide it and that it does not violate applicable laws or the rights of others.

You grant Agape Christian Fellowship permission to use submitted content as reasonably necessary to respond to your request or provide the requested ministry service.

Submitting a prayer request does not automatically authorize its public disclosure.

We strive to handle prayer requests and sensitive communications respectfully. However, users should avoid submitting highly confidential information through general website forms unless an appropriate secure communication method is available.

Agape reserves the right to remove inappropriate submissions.

We will seek appropriate authorization before using identifiable personal testimonies, private photographs, or sensitive information for public promotional purposes.

11. Privacy and Personal Information

Your privacy is important to Agape Christian Fellowship.

When using our Services, we may collect information that you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, telephone number, registration details, prayer requests, and other information necessary for ministry activities.

Certain technical information may also be collected through website functionality, analytics, cookies, or third-party service providers.

The collection, use, retention, and disclosure of personal information should be explained in our separate Privacy Policy, which should be read together with these Terms.

We encourage users to review that policy to understand how personal information is handled.

12. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website and applications may include links to or integrations with third-party websites, online giving platforms, social media services, streaming providers, event registration systems, and other digital tools.

These third-party services operate under their own terms, privacy policies, and security practices.

Agape Christian Fellowship does not control and is not responsible for the content, availability, or policies of independent third-party services.

The inclusion of a third-party link does not necessarily constitute endorsement of its products, services, or views.

Users are encouraged to review the applicable terms before using external platforms.

13. Mobile Applications

These Terms also apply to mobile applications officially owned, operated, or provided by Agape Christian Fellowship, Inc., unless separate application-specific terms apply.

Mobile applications may provide access to sermons, announcements, event information, online giving, ministry communications, and other church resources.

Application functionality may depend on internet access, device compatibility, software updates, and third-party services.

Users are responsible for any mobile data charges or device-related costs associated with accessing the Services.

If an application is distributed through a third-party app store, additional terms imposed by that platform may apply.

Agape may update, modify, or discontinue application features without prior notice.

Communications may include email, telephone calls, or text messages, depending on your preferences and applicable consent requirements.

Marketing or promotional text messages will be sent only with the consent required by applicable law.

You may opt out of optional electronic communications using the unsubscribe instructions provided or by contacting the Church.

Consent to receive promotional messages is not required to attend worship services or participate in ordinary church activities.

15. Photography, Audio, and Video Recordings

Agape Christian Fellowship may photograph, record, or livestream worship services, ministry activities, and church events.

Notices or additional consent procedures may be used when appropriate, particularly for activities involving minors or private ministry settings.

Attendance at an event does not automatically constitute unlimited permission for the Church to use an individual’s likeness for all purposes.
