Effective Date: September 28, 2026
Welcome to the website of Divine Shepherd Lutheran Church ("Divine Shepherd," "DSLC," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms & Conditions govern your use of our website, online services, forms, and communications.
By using our website or submitting information through our online services, you agree to these Terms & Conditions.
Website Use
The Divine Shepherd Lutheran Church website is provided to share information about our church, ministries, worship services, programs, events, volunteer opportunities, preschool and childcare programs, and other church-related activities.
You agree to use our website and online services only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not interfere with the operation or security of the website or the ability of others to use it.
Information and Availability
We make reasonable efforts to keep information on our website accurate and current. However, schedules, events, programs, fees, availability, and other information may change without notice.
Information provided through this website is for general informational purposes and should not be considered professional, legal, financial, medical, or other professional advice.
Online Forms and Communications
When you submit information through a form on our website, you agree that the information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge.
Submitting a telephone number or email address does not, by itself, constitute consent to receive promotional communications from Divine Shepherd Lutheran Church.
Where consent is required, we will request it separately.
SMS/Text Messaging Program
Divine Shepherd Lutheran Church may offer SMS/text messaging for individuals who affirmatively opt in to receive messages from us.
Messages may include, but are not limited to:
- Church and ministry communications;
- Event and scheduling information;
- Volunteer scheduling and reminders;
- Facility and operational communications;
- Safety, security, weather, or emergency-related notifications;
- Preschool, childcare, or program-related communications where applicable; and
- Other communications related to an individual's involvement with Divine Shepherd Lutheran Church.
SMS Consent
You will only be enrolled in our SMS messaging program after providing consent to receive text messages at the mobile telephone number you provide.
Consent may be obtained through an electronic form, written form, or documented verbal/in-person consent process.
Providing a telephone number alone does not constitute consent to receive SMS messages.
Consent to receive SMS messages is not a condition of participating in Divine Shepherd Lutheran Church programs, ministries, worship services, or other services unless SMS communication is specifically necessary for a particular optional service.
Message Frequency
Message frequency varies depending upon your relationship with Divine Shepherd Lutheran Church, the programs in which you participate, and the types of communications you have elected to receive.

Message and data rates may apply to SMS messages sent to or received from Divine Shepherd Lutheran Church. Contact your wireless carrier if you have questions regarding your text or data plan.
Opting Out
You may cancel SMS messaging at any time by replying STOP to a message from Divine Shepherd Lutheran Church.
After you send STOP, you may receive a confirmation message indicating that you have been unsubscribed. After that, you will no longer receive SMS messages through that messaging program unless you subsequently opt in again.
