Welcome to the website of Ephrata Christian Fellowship. This website is provided as a ministry and informational resource of the church. By accessing or using this website, you agree to the following Terms & Conditions.

1. Purpose of This Website

The Ephrata Christian Fellowship website exists to provide information and resources concerning our church, our beliefs, our ministries, and opportunities for involvement.

Website resources may include church and ministry information, statements of belief, service livestreams, archived sermons and messages, Bible School information and applications, online giving, and other ministry-related materials.

2. Church and Belief Information

Information concerning the beliefs, teachings, practices, ministries, and activities of Ephrata Christian Fellowship is provided for general informational purposes.

While we endeavor to keep this information accurate and current, the website should not necessarily be considered a complete statement of every belief, practice, policy, or position of the church.

Questions regarding our beliefs or practices are welcomed and may be directed to the church.

3. Livestreams and Sermon Archives

Ephrata Christian Fellowship may provide livestreams of church services and other events, as well as archived sermons, teachings, audio, video, and related materials.

These resources are provided for personal and ministry use. Unless otherwise indicated, they may be viewed, shared, or used for noncommercial purposes, provided that they are not materially altered, misrepresented, sold, or presented as the work of another person or organization.

Livestream availability is not guaranteed and may occasionally be interrupted or unavailable because of technical difficulties or other circumstances.

4. Bible School Information and Applications

The website may provide information regarding Bible School programs and may allow prospective students to submit applications or other information electronically.

Submission of an application does not guarantee acceptance or enrollment. Applications will be reviewed according to the admission process and standards established by Ephrata Christian Fellowship and the Bible School administration.

Applicants are responsible for providing accurate and complete information.

Personal information submitted through Bible School applications will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and our practices concerning the responsible handling of personal information.

5. Online Giving

The website may provide the ability to make donations or other financial contributions to Ephrata Christian Fellowship through an online giving service.

Donors are responsible for ensuring that the information they provide is accurate and that they are authorized to use the selected payment method.

Online gifts are intended to support the ministries and purposes of Ephrata Christian Fellowship. Where a donor indicates a preferred ministry, fund, or purpose, the church will endeavor to honor that designation, subject to applicable law and the church’s responsibility for the proper administration of charitable funds.

Ephrata Christian Fellowship may use a third-party payment processor to facilitate online giving. Payment processing may therefore also be subject to the terms and privacy practices of that provider.

Questions concerning a donation or giving transaction should be directed to the church.

6. Ownership and Use of Website Materials

Unless otherwise indicated, original sermons, recordings, articles, photographs, documents, graphics, and other materials appearing on this website belong to Ephrata Christian Fellowship or are used with appropriate permission.

Website materials may generally be viewed, downloaded, shared, or reproduced for personal, educational, church, or other noncommercial ministry purposes, provided that the material is not materially altered or misrepresented and appropriate attribution is maintained where applicable.

Permission should be obtained from Ephrata Christian Fellowship before using church-owned materials for commercial purposes.

7. External Links and Services

This website may contain links to websites, livestreaming platforms, payment processors, or other services operated by third parties.

These links and services may be provided for convenience or to make church resources available. Ephrata Christian Fellowship is not responsible for the content, availability, security, or privacy practices of third-party websites or services.

The inclusion of a link does not necessarily indicate endorsement of all content, beliefs, products, services, or practices of the linked organization.

8. Appropriate Use

Users agree not to use this website in a way that is unlawful, harmful, fraudulent, or disruptive to the operation or security of the website.

Users may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, its systems, application information, giving information, or other restricted data.

9. Accuracy and Availability

Ephrata Christian Fellowship endeavors to provide accurate and helpful information. However, schedules, programs, events, policies, personnel, and other information may change from time to time.

We do not guarantee that all website information will always be complete, current, error-free, or continuously available.

10. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information submitted through this website is addressed in our separate Privacy Policy.

Users submitting personal information through Bible School applications, online giving services, or other website features are encouraged to review that policy.

11. Limitation of Responsibility

This website and its resources are provided in good faith for the ministry and informational purposes of Ephrata Christian Fellowship.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Ephrata Christian Fellowship is not responsible for losses or damages resulting from temporary website unavailability, technical problems, third-party services or websites, or reliance upon information that has become outdated or inaccurate.
