Community Purpose
Grace Connect exists to strengthen faith, fellowship, prayer, service, ministry coordination, and church communication. Every user is expected to communicate with humility, respect, honesty, and care.
1. Be Respectful and Christ-Centered
Users must treat others with dignity. Do not post insults, threats, harassment, bullying, shaming, intimidation, cruelty, hateful language, slurs, or targeted attacks.
2. Protect Privacy
Do not share another person’s phone number, address, health details, family issues, financial circumstances, counseling information, private messages, prayer details, photos, or personal story without permission.
3. Prayer Requests and Testimonies
Prayer requests and testimonies should be truthful, respectful, and appropriate for the selected audience. Avoid posting graphic, defamatory, exploitative, or overly private information about others.
4. Direct Messages
Do not use direct messages to harass, manipulate, groom, pressure, threaten, solicit money improperly, send unwanted media, share explicit content, or continue contact after someone asks you to stop.
5. Prohibited Content
Grace Connect does not allow sexual content, exploitation, child-safety risks, hate speech, violent threats, fraud, scams, impersonation, spam, malware, illegal activity, self-harm encouragement, abusive religious manipulation, financial abuse, or content that endangers others.
6. Ministry Group Conduct
Groups must be used for ministry, study, coordination, support, and church-approved communication. Group leaders should moderate content, keep discussions on purpose, and remove inappropriate behavior.
7. Giving and Fundraising
Users must not post unauthorized giving links, solicit funds deceptively, impersonate church finance teams, pressure vulnerable members, or misuse donations. Only authorized church giving links should be used.
8. Reports and Blocking
Users may report harmful content or block users where features are available. Reports should be made honestly and not used to harass or silence others unfairly.
9. Consequences
Violations may lead to content removal, warning, message restrictions, role removal, account suspension, church admin review, platform investigation, deletion, or referral to church leadership or authorities where necessary.
