Your Privacy Matters

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 25, 2026

Greater Faith Fellowship Church (“Greater Faith Fellowship,” “the church,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through greaterfaithfellowshiptn.com (the “Website”), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Website, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

We only collect personal information that you choose to give us. This may include:

  • Contact details: your name, email address, and phone number when you submit our Prayer Request form or Contact Us form.
  • Prayer requests and messages: the words you write in a prayer request or message, which may include personal or sensitive details you decide to share.
  • Giving information: your name, email address, and gift amount when you use our online giving form. If card or bank giving is enabled, payment details are entered directly with our payment processor (such as Stripe or PayPal). Greater Faith Fellowship never sees or stores your full card or bank account numbers.
  • Technical information: like most websites, our hosting servers may automatically record basic information such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited, for security and to keep the Website running properly.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide only for ministry purposes, including to:

  • Pray for you and, if you ask, follow up with encouragement or pastoral care;
  • Respond to your questions, messages, and requests;
  • Process your tithes and offerings and provide giving receipts and records;
  • Share church updates or event information when you have asked to receive them;
  • Protect the Website against spam, fraud, and misuse.

3. How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical steps to safeguard your personal information:

  • The Website uses an encrypted (HTTPS/SSL) connection, so information you submit is protected while it travels to us.
  • Form submissions are stored on our secure website and sent only to authorized church leaders and staff.
  • Access to prayer requests is limited to our pastoral leadership and prayer team, who are asked to treat every request with care and confidentiality.
  • Website administrator accounts are protected by passwords and limited to trusted individuals.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so while we work hard to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

4. Prayer Request Confidentiality

We consider your prayer requests sacred. We will not publish your name or request, read it publicly, or share it outside our pastoral and prayer team without your permission. If a request indicates that someone may be in immediate danger, we may reach out to appropriate emergency services or authorities out of care for everyone involved.

5. We Do Not Sell Your Information

Greater Faith Fellowship does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone. We share information only with trusted service providers who help us operate the Website and ministry, such as our website hosting company, email delivery services, and payment processors, and only as needed for them to perform those services. We may also disclose information if required by law.

6. Cookies and Third-Party Services

The Website uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies that are needed for it to work, such as keeping forms secure and remembering settings. Some pages include content from third-party services, including an embedded Google Map and links to our Facebook and Instagram pages. These services may collect information according to their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings.

7. How Long We Keep Information

We keep prayer requests and messages only as long as needed to care for you and respond. Giving records are kept as long as needed for accounting, tax, and legal purposes. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or securely remove it.

8. Children’s Privacy

The Website is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

9. Your Choices and Rights

You may ask us at any time to review, correct, or delete the personal information you have shared with us, or to stop contacting you. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws. To make a request, please contact us using the information below.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and change the Effective Date above.
