Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 22, 2026
Cornerstone Chapel of the Christian and Missionary Alliance (“Cornerstone Chapel,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and disclose information when you visit cornerstonechapelcma.org, complete one of our forms, register for an event or ministry, make a donation, or communicate with us by email, telephone, or text message.

Information We Collect
We may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including:
  • Your name, email address, telephone number, and mailing address
  • Your relationship to Cornerstone Chapel, such as member, regular attendee, or new attendee
  • Event registrations, ministry interests, volunteer interests, and communication preferences
  • Messages, questions, prayer requests, and other information you submit
  • Donation and transaction information
  • Your consent and preferences regarding email and text-message communications
Our website and service providers may also automatically collect limited technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and general website usage information.

How We Use Your Information
We may use your information to:
  • Maintain accurate church membership and attendee records
  • Respond to questions, prayer requests, and other inquiries
  • Provide church announcements, service updates, event reminders, schedule changes, and volunteer coordination
  • Register you for events, ministries, small groups, or other church activities
  • Process and maintain records of donations
  • Send communications you have requested or consented to receive
  • Operate, maintain, secure, and improve our website and church services
  • Meet legal, accounting, safety, and administrative requirements

Text Messaging and SMS Consent
When you provide your mobile number and separately opt in to text messaging, Cornerstone Chapel may send you non-marketing text messages concerning church announcements, service updates, event reminders, schedule changes, and volunteer coordination.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You may reply STOP at any time to stop receiving text messages. Reply HELP for assistance. Consent to receive text messages is optional and is not a condition of church membership, attendance, participation, donating, or receiving services.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use-case categories exclude text-messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
Text-messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, except aggregators and providers of the text-message services that assist us in delivering messages.

How We Disclose Information
We do not sell personal information.
We may provide limited information to service providers that help us operate our website and church activities, including website hosting, church-management and customer-relationship software, email and text-message delivery, event registration, donation processing, data storage, and technical support.
These providers may use the information only as reasonably necessary to perform services for Cornerstone Chapel.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to a lawful request, protect the safety and rights of individuals, prevent fraud or misuse, or protect Cornerstone Chapel and its congregation.
The disclosures described above do not include sharing mobile information or text-message consent information for marketing or promotional purposes.

Donations and Payment Information
When you make an online donation, payment information may be processed by a payment-service provider. Cornerstone Chapel may receive information about the transaction, such as your name, donation amount, date, and selected fund. Full payment-card or banking details are generally handled by the payment provider rather than stored directly by Cornerstone Chapel.
