Terms

A simple agreement for a careful connection platform.

OpenChurch helps visitors, seekers, students, and churches start real conversations. These terms explain the boundaries for trial operation.

Last updated: May 26, 2026

1

Use the service respectfully

Use OpenChurch to seek truthful church information, ask good-faith questions, and contact people respectfully. Do not submit spam, harassment, false claims, or unsafe requests.

2

Church listings and welcomers

Church information may be incomplete or user-submitted. Welcomers are intended to help with first-contact questions, not to replace church leadership or pastoral discernment.

3

Baptism and spiritual care

OpenChurch can help you ask about baptism preparation, Bible discussion, and church visits. Actual baptism, membership, pastoral care, and doctrine remain the responsibility of real local churches.

4

No guarantees

We cannot guarantee that every church, helper, or listing will respond, be available, or be a fit for every person. Please verify details directly with the church before travel or attendance.

5

Safety and compliance

Do not use OpenChurch for emergencies, legal advice, immigration advice, or political activity. If you face urgent risk, contact local emergency services or trusted local support.
