Welcome to HomeChurchFinder.com ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the site.

1. About the Service

HomeChurchFinder.com is a free, community-supported online directory that helps people find home churches across the United States. We provide a platform for home church leaders to list their gatherings and for seekers to browse and discover those communities. We are not a church, denomination, or religious organisation โ€” we are simply a directory service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use this site. By using HomeChurchFinder.com, you represent that you meet this requirement. If you are submitting a church listing on behalf of a fellowship, you represent that you have authority to do so.

3. Use of the Directory

You may browse the HomeChurchFinder.com directory for personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to:

  • Scrape, crawl, or systematically download directory data for use in competing services
  • Use the directory to harvest contact information for spam or unsolicited marketing
  • Misrepresent yourself or your affiliation when contacting listed churches
  • Use the site in any way that could damage, disable, or impair the service
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site or its infrastructure

4. Church Listing Submissions

4.1 Accuracy of Information

When you submit a church listing, you represent that all information provided is accurate, current, and not misleading. You agree not to submit listings for organisations that are not genuine home churches, or to misrepresent the nature, location, or activities of your fellowship.

4.2 Public Visibility

Information you submit โ€” including your church name, city, description, meeting style, and contact email โ€” will be made publicly visible on the site. Do not submit any information you are not comfortable making public. In particular, only provide a contact email address you intend to be publicly accessible.

4.3 Our Right to Moderate

We reserve the right to review, approve, edit, or remove any submitted listing at our sole discretion, without notice. We may decline to publish or remove listings that we determine, in our judgment, are inaccurate, inappropriate, misleading, or otherwise inconsistent with the purpose of the directory.

4.4 Listing Removal Requests

If you submitted a listing and wish to have it updated or removed, email us at hello@homechurchfinder.com. We will action removal requests within 5 business days.

5. Intellectual Property

The content on HomeChurchFinder.com โ€” including the site design, written content, code, and graphics โ€” is owned by HomeChurchFinder.com and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our site content without our written permission.

By submitting a church listing, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual licence to display, reproduce, and distribute the listing information you provide as part of the public directory.

6. Third-Party Links and Content

Church listings may include links to external websites (such as a church's own website or social media pages). We do not endorse, control, or take responsibility for the content or practices of any third-party website. Visiting external links is at your own risk.

We are not responsible for verifying the doctrinal positions, practices, financial dealings, leadership, or safety record of any church listed in the directory. It is your responsibility to conduct your own due diligence before visiting or joining any fellowship.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

HomeChurchFinder.com is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the site will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any listing or content on the site.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, HomeChurchFinder.com and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of โ€” or inability to use โ€” the site or any information found within it. This includes, without limitation, any damages resulting from your interactions with churches found through the directory.

Our total liability to you for any claims arising from your use of the site shall not exceed $100 USD.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless HomeChurchFinder.com and its operators from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the site, your submission of a church listing, or your violation of these Terms.

10. Privacy

Your use of HomeChurchFinder.com is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please review it to understand our data practices.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
