SMS Terms & Conditions

Last updated: August 11, 2026

These SMS Terms & Conditions govern the Christ Church text messaging program. By opting in to receive text messages from Christ Church, You agree to these terms.

SMS Messaging Program

Program Description

Christ Church may send recurring informational and community outreach text messages about programs, events, resources, and nonprofit initiatives.

Messages may include information about:

  • Free community events and activities

  • Food pantry distributions and community resources

  • Volunteer opportunities

  • Church programs and services

  • Community outreach initiatives

  • Event reminders and related updates

The types of messages You receive may depend on the program or communication preferences selected when You opt in.

Opt-In and Consent

Participation in the Christ Church SMS messaging program is voluntary.

You may opt in through an authorized Christ Church sign-up form or another method that clearly indicates that You are agreeing to receive text messages from Christ Church.

By opting in, You confirm that You are the subscriber or authorized user of the mobile number provided and that You consent to receive recurring text messages from Christ Church at that number.

Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of participating in Christ Church programs, events, services, or community initiatives.

Providing a mobile phone number to Christ Church through another source does not automatically enroll You in our recurring SMS messaging program. Contact information obtained from purchased, rented, shared, or other third-party lists is not treated as SMS consent. Individuals must separately and directly opt in to receive recurring text messages from Christ Church.

Message Frequency

Message frequency varies depending on the programs, events, or communications for which You have subscribed.

Message and Data Rates

Message and data rates may apply. Your mobile carrier's standard messaging and data charges may apply to messages sent or received as part of the Christ Church SMS messaging program.

Christ Church is not responsible for charges imposed by Your mobile carrier.

Managing Your SMS Subscription

Opting Out

You may stop receiving SMS messages from Christ Church at any time by replying STOP to a message.

After submitting an opt-out request, You may receive a confirmation message indicating that You have been unsubscribed. You will no longer receive recurring messages associated with that SMS program unless You opt in again.
