Group Messaging Guidelines
Our prayer is that these group messages unite the body of Christ as we grow in our relationships with each other and with the Lord.
These groups are designated for conversations and updates to occur between members of the group. With any messages added to a group, please consider the following:
Ensure that all conversations and messages are glorifying to God. (Colossians 3:17)
Keep conversations relevant to the purpose of the group. This includes refraining from gossip, slander, profanity, political conversations, and excessive messaging. (Ephesians 4:29, Proverbs 18:21)
Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in your removal from a group.
