Terms of Service
Effective Date: 04/08/2025
Eligibility
Our community is open to all, regardless of background or belief. However, to fully engage with our services—including registration, commenting, donating, or accessing member-exclusive content—you must be at least 13 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement.
Commitment Token & Membership
We ask that those wishing to truly participate contribute a non-refundable $3 commitment token. This token is not a fee for salvation, spiritual merit, or religious service—it is a symbolic gesture of sincerity. It signifies that you’re not just browsing, but intentionally stepping into this space with an openness to learn and grow.
Making the token refundable would undermine its purpose as a representation of intention and commitment.
User Conduct
We are a place for exploration and reflection—not confrontation. You agree to participate in a spirit of mutual respect and personal growth. You may not:
– Post or share hateful, abusive, or intentionally disruptive content
– Attempt to rebuke or correct others in a divisive or combative manner
– Spam, market, or promote services without permission
– Misrepresent your identity or your intent
If you aim to criticize or “set others straight,” this space may not be for you. Constructive feedback or correction suggestions should be submitted via email to: revisions@firstgentilechurch.com
Content Ownership
All content on FirstGentileChurch.com—including but not limited to Scripnotes, studies, blogs, podcasts, images, and videos—is the intellectual property of The First Gentile Church unless otherwise credited. You may not republish, distribute, or modify our materials without written permission, except for brief quotations used with proper attribution.
User-Submitted Content
By submitting comments or content to the site, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, display, or moderate it. We reserve the right to edit or remove material that conflicts with these Terms or the spirit of our mission. If your submission is flagged, you will be notified and allowed to revise and resubmit to align with the church’s current doctrine and standards.
Donations
All financial contributions are voluntary and support our ongoing work. Unless otherwise noted, The First Gentile Church is not a tax-exempt organization, and donations may not be tax-deductible. Refunds are only issued in the case of transaction errors.
Privacy
We value your trust. We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties, except as required by law or to fulfill specific service requests (e.g., processing a donation or subscription). For more information, please read our full Privacy Policy.
Disclaimers
All content and services are provided “as is,” with no guarantees of outcome—spiritual, emotional, or otherwise. The First Gentile Church assumes no liability for any damages, misunderstandings, or misinterpretations that may occur from using this site.
Changes to the Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When changes are made, the updated version will be posted with a new effective date. Continued use of the site implies acceptance of any revised terms.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the state where The First Gentile Church is based, without regard to conflicts of law.
