Effective Date: January 1, 2026
Lighthouse Church offers SMS/text messaging as a convenient way to communicate with members, attendees, volunteers, and others who choose to receive messages from us.
By providing your mobile phone number and opting in to receive text messages from Lighthouse Church, you agree to the following terms.
1. Types of Messages
Messages from Lighthouse Church may include:
- Church service and schedule reminders
- Event announcements and updates
- Ministry and volunteer communications

Message frequency may vary depending on your involvement with the church and the types of communications you have selected.
2. Consent to Receive Messages
By opting in to Lighthouse Church text messaging, you consent to receive recurring SMS messages at the mobile number you provide.
Your consent to receive text messages is not a condition of making a donation, purchasing anything, or participating in church activities.
You represent that you are the authorized user of the mobile telephone number you provide.
3. Message and Data Rates
Message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier and wireless plan. Lighthouse Church does not charge you a fee for receiving our text messages; however, your wireless carrier may charge you for SMS messages according to your mobile plan.
4. How to Opt Out
You can stop receiving Lighthouse Church text messages at any time by replying STOP, CANCEL, or UNSUBSCRIBE to a message from us.
After you opt out, you may receive a final confirmation message. You will no longer receive recurring messages unless you choose to opt in again.

6. Privacy
Lighthouse Church respects your privacy. We use mobile phone numbers and related information to provide church communications and to manage your communication preferences.
We do not sell or rent your mobile phone number or personal information for third-party marketing purposes.
Our use of personal information is described in our Privacy & Website Policy, which is available on this website.
7. Third-Party Messaging Services
Lighthouse Church uses third-party technology and messaging providers to facilitate SMS communications. These providers may process your mobile phone number and message information as necessary to deliver messages and provide the texting service.
Because these services are provided by third parties, their own terms and privacy policies may also apply.
8. Message Delivery
Lighthouse Church and its messaging providers make reasonable efforts to deliver text messages reliably. However, we cannot guarantee that every message will be delivered successfully or immediately. Delivery may be affected by factors including your wireless carrier, network availability, mobile device settings, and other circumstances outside our control.
9. Changes to These Terms
Lighthouse Church may update these SMS/Text Messaging Terms of Service from time to time. Updated terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
