Introduction

First Baptist Church of Crowley ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using our website or providing your information to the church, you agree to the practices described here.

What Information Do We Collect?

We collect information you choose to give us, such as your name, address, email address, phone numbers, birth date, family members, and other details you provide through connection cards, event registrations, online forms, giving, check-in, and your online profile. When you visit our website, we may also collect basic technical information, such as your browser type and the pages you visit, to help the site work properly.

How Do We Use Your Information?

We use your information to:

  • Communicate with you about church ministries, events, schedule changes, and volunteer opportunities
  • Provide pastoral care, prayer support, and follow-up

  • Provide secure access to your online account, including login codes
  • Maintain accurate church membership and attendance records

Text Messaging (SMS)

If you opt in to receive text messages from First Baptist Church of Crowley, we collect your mobile phone number and a record of your consent. We use this information only to send church-related messages, such as website login codes, ministry and event updates, schedule changes, reminders, and pastoral care follow-up. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You may reply STOP at any time to opt out, or HELP for help. Opting in to text messages is never required to attend, give, or participate in church activities.

We do not sell or share your SMS opt-in data or personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Mobile opt-in information and consent will not be shared with any third parties or affiliates, except service providers that help us deliver messages on our behalf.

Will Your Information Be Shared With Anyone?

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only when:

  • You give us permission

What Is Our Stance on Third-Party Websites?

Our website may contain links to other websites, such as video, giving, or partner ministry sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites, and we encourage you to review their policies.

How Do We Protect Your Information?

We take reasonable steps to protect your information and limit access to authorized church staff and volunteers who need it to serve you. No system is completely secure, but we work to keep your information safe.
