We care about you and your spiritual health and well-being. Part of that well-being
is your privacy and sense of security, and we do not wish to compromise that
privacy. This page gives our policies for how we handle personal information
that is sent to us, and how we post personal information on this site.
![[top of page]](images/up.gif) Information Sent to Us
Under normal circumstances, if you submit information to us, we will
not give out that information to any outside organization without your express
permission. However, you should always consider that any information
that you send over the Internet is a public document. We do not
control the connections between your computer and our server, and we have
no way of securing the transmission of information over those connections.
So please do
NOT transmit confidential information to us over the Internet, either
by email or through our webpage forms.
The bottom line is this: If you have a confidential matter to discuss, the
safest course of action is to contact the church pastor by phone, or come by
the church office in person.
The following specifics apply to unsolicited information that you send us over
the Internet:
- We will NEVER give out your contact information to telemarketers, “spammers”,
or other bulk advertising solicitors.
- Simple informational requests may be referred within the Church to someone
who is appropriate to answer that question; therefore, your information request
may be viewed by one or more church members.
- Also, as a church we are interested in knowing who has attended our services
or expressed an interest in us in the past. So we try to keep track of the
folks who have visited us; however, we do not keep your name or contact information
in a publically accessible computer or file.
- If we receive information that leads us to believe that a crime has been
committed, or that harassment or abuse is in progress, we may be compelled
by state and/or federal laws to report that information to appropriate authorities.
Information Posted on This Site
Our policy for posting information on this website is based on our concern
for protecting the individuals involved. The following guidelines are used
for all postings on this site:
- We do not post telephone numbers or contact information for individuals
other than Pilgrim Church staff members (that contact information is listed
on the church contact page). For all other church
members or friends, if you have a church directory, you can find the
person you are looking for; if not, please contact the church office. The
only exception to this policy is for publically-advertised events, where
the contact is already listed in other advertising.
- When we post photographs of church activities, we will NEVER give names,
addresses, or other identifying information for any individual in the photograph
without express permission from that individual.
- We
will NEVER give out contact information for minors on this site.
