1. Lead with Grace
We are a Community built on the belief that “It Ain’t Over.” Please interact with every member with kindness, empathy, and respect. Even when you disagree, ensure your tone remains Christ-like and encouraging.
2. Protect Member Privacy
What is shared here stays here. To maintain a safe space for healing and growth, do not share other members’ stories, personal struggles, or contact information outside of this Community without their explicit permission.
3. Complete Your Identity
To foster genuine connection, we require all members to maintain an updated profile with a clear profile picture and a brief bio. This helps us move away from “anonymous” internet culture and toward a true fellowship of real people.
NOTE – Any new Member profile not filled out completely within two (2) weeks of joining the Community, will be suspended from all Community participation until their profile is completed.
4. No Self-Promotion or Solicitation
To keep our focus on Ministry and Community, please do not use this Community to sell products, services, or promote outside businesses. All promotional posts must strictly follow the specific “Promotional Guidelines” found in our Resources area.
5. Keep it Uplifting
While we welcome sharing struggles and asking for prayer, please avoid constant “venting” without a desire for growth. Our goal is to point one another toward hope, and the next chapter God has for our lives.
6. Zero Tolerance for Harassment
Bullying, name-calling, or any form of harassment will result in immediate removal. This is a sanctuary for those looking for a fresh start, and to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and as His disciples. We will protect the peace of this awesome Community at all costs.
7. Post in the Right Space
To keep the Community organized and helpful, please ensure your posts are in the correct space (e.g., an article or picture relating to Astronomy belongs in the “Sky Watchers Space”). This ensures that your posts are seen by the right people.
8. No Divisive Debates
We focus on what unites us in our Christian journey of discipleship. Please avoid contentious political debates or theological “gotcha” arguments that distract from the Ministry’s primary mission of support, outreach, growth, and unification of the Body of Christ.
9. Respect the Moderation Team
Our leadership team and moderators are here to keep the Community healthy and safe for everyone. Please follow their guidance and respect their decisions regarding post removals or thread closures. If you feel like or believe that their decision isn’t the best concerning the matter at hand, you may appeal their decision to the Community admin at: [email protected].
10. Report with Care
If you see a post that violates these rules, is offensive, divisive, blasphemous, or concerns you, please use the “Report” feature rather than engaging in a public argument. This allows the leadership team to handle the situation discreetly and effectively.
