Privacy Policy
Church of Philadelphia Last updated: May 2026
Hey, we’re glad you’re here. We want to be upfront about how our website works and what happens with any information you share with us. The short version: we keep things simple, we respect your privacy, and we’re not in the business of selling your data — ever.
What we collect (and what we don’t)
Our main website and campus sites don’t collect any personal information on their own. You can browse freely without us tracking who you are.
Anonymous site analytics
We use Vercel Web Analytics to help us understand how our website is being used — things like which pages get visited and how long people tend to stay. This is fully anonymous. No names, no email addresses, no IP addresses are stored, and no cookies are used to follow you around the web. It’s just aggregated numbers that help us make the site better.
Forms (event registration, contact, prayer requests, etc.)
When you fill out a form on our site — whether it’s to sign up for an event, reach out to us, or submit a prayer request — that form is powered by Planning Center, a trusted platform used by churches nationwide.
The information you share through those forms (like your name, email address, or prayer request) is collected and stored in Planning Center. Here’s what you should know:
- We use that information only to follow up with you or coordinate the ministry you’re connecting with.
- Your information is never sold to anyone, and we don’t share it with third parties for marketing purposes.
- Depending on the form, your submission may be seen by relevant ministry staff or trusted volunteers (for example, a prayer request may be shared with our prayer team). For details on how Planning Center handles data on their end, you can read their privacy policy at planningcenter.com/privacy.
How we use your information
We use the information you share with us to:
- Respond to your messages or questions
- Coordinate event registrations
- Connect you with the right ministry team
- Follow up on prayer requests That’s it. We’re a church, not a data company.
How we protect your information
We take reasonable steps to keep your information safe. Planning Center, which handles our form data, maintains industry-standard security practices. You can learn more at their site linked above.
Third-party links
Our website may link to other websites (like social media or ministry partner sites). Once you leave our site, we’re not responsible for what those sites do with your information. We recommend checking their privacy policies if you have questions.
Your choices
If you’d like to know what information we have on file for you, or if you’d like us to remove it, just reach out. We’re happy to help.

Changes to this policy
If we ever update this policy, we’ll post the new version here with an updated date at the top. We don’t anticipate major changes, but we want you to always have accurate information.
Church of Philadelphia is committed to being a trustworthy community — online and off.
