Privacy Policy

Why should a church have a privacy policy? Several reasons are important to us:

  • We value your privacy and want to make sure you know it’s important to us. We want you to be certain that we will not provide any information outside of the intent it was originally given to us
  • Legally, because we use web analytics software that tracks visitor activity on the site, we must include this policy.
  • Third, we spend money advertising from time to time. Some of this advertising is based on interests, others based on a visitor’s activity on the Living Word site. We do this not to push Living Word’s message but to spread the message of Christ into a world filled with advertisements for things that don’t matter and don’t last.
