Terms of Service

Effective date: November 13, 2026

1. About These Services

The Church Apps (the Benevolent Fund portal, the New Member Form, and the Visitor Follow-Up system) are provided by Mount Calvary Missionary Baptist Church ("we," "us," or "the Church") to support the Church's ministries. By accessing or using any of them, you agree to these Terms of Service.

2. Access and Accounts

Access to staff areas of the Church Apps is granted by the Church and may be protected by a sign-in or a staff access code. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your access and for keeping your credentials secure. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when submitting any form.

3. Purpose of Each Tool

The Benevolent Fund portal allows members and approved users to submit requests for assistance. The fund is reserved strictly for essential emergency needs, such as rent, mortgage, or food; submitting a request does not guarantee approval, and all assistance is subject to available funds and the Church's review and discretion.

The New Member Form records membership information so the Church can welcome, assign, and care for new members. The Visitor Follow-Up system records guest information so the Church can say thank you and follow up appropriately.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Church Apps only for their intended purposes and in a lawful manner. You agree not to submit false or misleading information, attempt to access records or accounts that are not yours, interfere with the operation of the services, or misuse information or documents belonging to others.

5. Accuracy of Information

By submitting a form (and signing it, where a signature is collected), you certify that the information you provide is accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge. Providing false information may result in denial of assistance and removal of access.

6. No Warranty

The Church Apps are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we work to keep them reliable and secure, we do not warrant that they will be uninterrupted, error free, or free of inaccuracies.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Church and its volunteers and staff will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, these services.

8. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Church Apps after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.

9. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
