Our general website is not intended to collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13 without appropriate involvement from a parent or legal guardian.

For that reason, please use appropriate care when deciding what personal information to send through an online form or email.
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or for legitimate Church, administrative, legal, financial, or recordkeeping purposes.
