4. Bible Studies, Teaching, Articles, Videos, and Other Content
We make every effort to provide accurate, thoughtful, prayerful, and helpful information. However, we are human, and no person, website, ministry, writer, volunteer, teacher, editor, or contributor is perfect.
The content on this website may include Bible studies, devotionals, articles, videos, podcasts, sermons, opinions, educational material, group discussions, comments, and user-submitted content. This content is provided for general faith-based, educational, devotional, and informational purposes.

You should compare teaching and information with Scripture, trusted pastoral leadership, reputable sources, and your own careful study.

-
We are not responsible for decisions you make based on information found on the website.
-
We are not liable for inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, misunderstood, misapplied, or user-submitted information to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Our heart is to be faithful, helpful, and accurate. Still, users are expected to seek wisdom, verify information, and take responsibility for how they use what they read, watch, hear, or discuss.

It does not violate copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other rights.

We are not required to publish, keep, or display user-submitted content. We may remove or restrict content at any time.
7. Prayer Requests and Personal Information

Please use wisdom when sharing personal information. Do not publicly post sensitive information such as medical records, addresses, financial information, passwords, private family matters, legal issues, or anything you do not want others to see.
If you submit a prayer request or personal story, you understand that it may be seen by ministry staff, volunteers, group leaders, or others involved in prayer and care. We will make reasonable efforts to handle prayer requests with care and respect, but online communication always carries some risk.
8. Not an Emergency Service
Boundless Online Church is not an emergency service, crisis hotline, medical provider, mental health provider, law enforcement agency, or emergency response organization.
If you are in immediate danger, thinking of harming yourself or someone else, experiencing a medical emergency, or facing a crisis requiring urgent help, call 911 or contact local emergency services immediately.
Prayer, encouragement, Bible study, and online community can be meaningful sources of support, but they are not substitutes for emergency care, licensed medical treatment, professional mental health care, legal advice, or other qualified professional help.
