SMS/Text Messaging Consent By providing your mobile phone number and submitting any form (including but not limited to website forms, connect cards, event registrations, or Facebook Lead Ads) where this Privacy Policy is referenced or linked and text messaging is disclosed, you provide your prior express written consent to receive recurring automated or manual text messages (SMS/MMS) from FIRE Church at the number provided.
These messages may include informational updates (e.g., service times, event reminders) and invitational/encouragement content (e.g., small group invites, volunteer opportunities, spiritual messages).
Submitting the form constitutes your electronic signature and agreement to these terms. Consent to receive texts is entirely voluntary and not a condition of attending services, making donations, or participating in church activities.

3. How We Share Your Information We may share information in these ways:
With trusted service providers who assist us (e.g., email or texting platforms, database management) — these providers are required to protect your data and use it only for church purposes
When required by law (e.g., legal requests or safety concerns)
Internally with church staff or approved volunteers for ministry coordination
We do not sell your personal information or share your SMS opt-in consent with unrelated third parties.

Even if you opt out of promotional messages, we may still contact you for essential ministry updates (e.g., event confirmations)
5. Data Security We take reasonable steps to protect your information from unauthorized access, including secure storage and limited staff access. While no system is completely foolproof, we are committed to safeguarding your trust.
