We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide, including:

• Name
• Email address
• Phone number
• Mailing address
• Prayer requests
• Event registrations
• Volunteer applications
• Children's ministry registrations (with parental consent where appropriate)

We may also collect limited technical information such as IP addresses, browser types, and website usage statistics through analytics tools.

We use your information to:

• Communicate church news, events, and ministry updates
• Respond to enquiries and prayer requests
• Manage event registrations and volunteer activities
• Provide access to church services, resources, and mobile applications
• Improve our website and online services

Where information relating to children is collected, parental or guardian consent will be obtained where appropriate. We take additional care to protect children's personal information.

Photographs and videos may be taken during church services, ministry programs, youth events, Sunday School activities, camps, and special events. These images may be used on our website, mobile application, social media channels, livestreams, and promotional materials.

Where required, consent will be obtained from parents or guardians before publishing identifiable images of children.

If you would like a photograph or video removed, please contact us and we will review the request promptly.

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information.

Information may be shared with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website, church management systems, communications platforms, or mobile applications, provided they maintain appropriate privacy protections.

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure.

Our website may use cookies and analytics services to understand how visitors use our website and improve user experience.

Essential cookies and browser storage keep you signed in and remember your cookie choice. Optional analytics cookies are only used if you select Accept on our cookie banner, and you can change your choice at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer.

You can also disable cookies through your browser settings if preferred.

Prayer requests and similar messages may reveal sensitive information such as religious beliefs or health matters. We only collect this information with your consent, use it for the purpose you provided it, and will only share it with the church community if you ask us to.

Payments are processed securely by Stripe. We do not store your card number; card details are held by Stripe. Emails are sent using Resend and SMS messages using Twilio, using the contact details you provide.

Some of these providers, and the hosting for this website, may store or process information outside Australia, including in the United States. We take reasonable steps to ensure these providers handle your information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles.

We only send church news and reminders by email or SMS where you have chosen to receive them. You can opt out at any time by contacting us or replying to the message.

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected (for example, booking records and prayer requests). When it is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it.

You may request access to, or correction of, your personal information by contacting us. We will respond within a reasonable time, normally within 30 days. You can also deal with us anonymously or under a pseudonym where it is practical, for example when browsing this website.

If you believe we have breached the Australian Privacy Principles, please contact us in writing. We will investigate and respond. If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at www.oaic.gov.au.

If a data breach is likely to cause serious harm, we will notify affected individuals and the OAIC as required by law.

If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy or the handling of your personal information, please contact:

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page.
