What information is gathered? In keeping with common website practices, our web server stores log files pertaining to web visits, such as IP address, browser type, page referrals and visits, and time of visit. This is done for the purpose of enhancing your web experience and troubleshooting any support requests that might arise from time to time. Certain website features also require users to create an online account. This is done for the purpose of offering features such as recurring giving and online event registration.

How is this information used? Your e-mail is used in sending confirmation of online giving and event sign-ups, as well as notifying you of upcoming event information. If you prefer to not receive event notifications, you may opt out at any time by using the "unsubscribe" link present with those e-mails. This will unsubscribe you from all mass e-mail notifications unless you choose to re-subscribe. We also gather partner data for the purpose of updating our primary church database in order to process financial transactions and provide end-of-the-year giving statements.
