Welcome to the Redfield Wesleyan Church mobile application ("App"), operated by Redfield Wesleyan Church ("Church," "we," "us," or "our"), located at 38519 174th St., Redfield, SD 57469. By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account or use features that require account registration (such as group messaging, profile management, or downloading content). By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old. Features that do not require an account (such as browsing sermons, reading scripture, or viewing events) are available to all users.

2. Account Registration

Certain features of the App require you to create an account using either an email address and password or Apple Sign In. You are responsible for:

  • Providing accurate and current information during registration.
  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
  • All activity that occurs under your account.

You may update your display name and profile photo through your account settings. You may delete your account at any time through the Profile section of the App, which will permanently remove your account data.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the App in a manner consistent with its purpose as a church community resource. You agree not to:

  • Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws.
  • Post, transmit, or share content that is obscene, abusive, threatening, harassing, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable in group messages or any other communication feature.
  • Impersonate any person or entity, or falsely state or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App, other user accounts, or any systems or networks connected to the App.
  • Upload viruses, malware, or any other harmful code.
  • Use the App to send spam, unsolicited messages, or advertisements.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the App or the servers and networks that host it.
  • Scrape, harvest, or collect information about other users without their consent.
  • Use the App's download feature to redistribute sermon audio or video content commercially or on any public platform.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward objectionable content and abusive behavior. We reserve the right to remove any content, and to suspend or terminate your account at our sole discretion, if you violate these Terms.

4. App Features and Content

4.1 Sermons and Media

The App provides access to sermon audio and video content for personal, non-commercial use. You may stream or download sermon recordings for offline personal listening and viewing. Downloaded content is stored locally on your device and may be managed through the Downloads section of your account. You may not redistribute, modify, or publicly perform downloaded content without express written permission from the Church.

4.2 Bible Reader

The App provides access to scripture text from multiple Bible translations. Scripture content is provided by third-party API services and is subject to the copyright terms of each respective translation. See the Copyright Information section within the App for detailed attribution.

4.3 Group Messaging

If you have an account, you may participate in small group messaging features. Messages you send, including text and images, are visible to other members of the group. Anonymous prayer request messages are labeled as anonymous but are transmitted through our systems and remain associated with your account in our records. You are solely responsible for the content of messages you send.

Zero tolerance. There is zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behavior in group messaging. Before participating, you must agree to our in-app Community Guidelines, which prohibit harassment, hate speech, explicit content, spam, and other objectionable material.

Reporting and blocking. You can report any message you believe is objectionable by pressing and holding the message and choosing "Report Message." You can also block any member by choosing "Block Member," after which you will no longer see that member's messages; you can manage and remove blocks at any time under Account → Blocked Users. Reports are sent to Church staff for review.

Our commitment. We review reports of objectionable content and abusive users and will act on them within 24 hours by removing the offending content and, where appropriate, suspending or removing the user responsible. The Church reserves the right to moderate, review, edit, or remove any message, and to suspend or terminate the account of any user who violates these Terms or the Community Guidelines.

4.4 Connection Cards and Prayer Requests

The App allows you to submit connection cards and prayer requests. Information submitted through these features is sent to Church staff and is handled with care and confidentiality. By submitting a connection card or prayer request, you consent to Church staff receiving and reviewing the information you provide.

4.5 Notes

The App allows you to create personal notes associated with sermons. Notes are stored locally on your device using on-device storage and are not transmitted to the Church or any third party.

The App may send push notifications about church events, announcements, and other updates. You can manage notification preferences through the App settings or your device settings at any time.

4.7 Giving
