Terms & Conditions

Using Journey’s website

These Terms & Conditions apply to the website operated by Journey Church in Bend, Oregon that displays these terms, including its preview address. “Journey,” “we,” and “our” mean Journey Church. By using the website, you agree to these terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, please do not use it; you can contact the church by phone or email instead.

The website provides church information, teaching, ministry resources, and ways to contact us. It does not create church membership, employment, an internship placement, a professional-client relationship, or a confirmed reservation simply because you view a page or submit a form. Additional terms presented for a particular activity apply to that activity.

Forms, requests & permission

Please provide accurate information and only submit material you have permission to share. When submitting information about a child, you must be the parent or legal guardian or otherwise have the required authority. Children under 13 should have a parent or guardian complete forms for them. Older minors should involve a parent or guardian when permission is needed.

Submitting a form authorizes Journey to use the information to process the request and contact you, as described in the form and Privacy Policy. It is not permission for Journey to publish private prayer, care, or family information. You retain any rights you hold in material you submit; you grant only the permission reasonably needed to receive, store, review, and respond to it for the stated purpose.

A successful submission confirms that the website received the request. It does not confirm an appointment, baptism, dedication date, internship, or participation in an event. Journey may need to follow up. Forms are not continuously monitored; call or email the church for time-sensitive matters.

Pastoral resources & urgent needs

Teaching, search results, prayer resources, and other website content offer general spiritual information. They are not individualized medical, mental-health, legal, financial, or other licensed professional advice. A request for a pastoral conversation does not itself establish a counseling or professional relationship.

Do not use the website, search, or forms for emergencies. If someone is in immediate danger or needs urgent assistance, contact local emergency services directly. Sharing information through a form does not guarantee confidentiality beyond what applicable law and our Privacy Policy provide.

Sermons, transcripts & search

You are welcome to watch teaching, share links, and use Journey-provided study guides for personal study or your small group. Transcripts may originate from automated captions, and summaries, questions, and study materials may be prepared with AI assistance and editorial review. Errors, omissions, and lost context are possible. Refer to the original recording for a speaker’s actual words and to Journey’s Statement of Faith for our published beliefs.

Ask Journey currently retrieves existing website content and teaching excerpts. Search results are not personal pastoral counsel and may include older recordings. Check dates and linked sources before relying on event details or current ministry information. Please tell us if you find an error so we can review it.

Content ownership & permitted use

Website design, branding, photographs, videos, writing, and other materials belong to Journey or their respective owners and licensors. Scripture translations, music, guest teaching, and embedded media may have separate rights and restrictions. Access to this website does not transfer ownership or grant rights to third-party material.

Unless a resource expressly allows more, you may view it, link to it, and print or download material made available for personal, noncommercial use or a church small group, while keeping attribution and notices intact. Ask permission before republishing substantial material, selling it, using Journey’s branding to imply endorsement, or editing someone’s words or image in a misleading way.

If you believe material on this site infringes your rights, contact Journey with the page address, identification of the work, your contact details, and an explanation of your authority and concern. We will review the report.

Respectful & lawful use

Do not use this website to impersonate someone, send spam or harmful material, harass others, submit information without permission, access private records, evade security or rate limits, interfere with the service, or violate applicable law or another person’s rights. We may restrict access or reject submissions when reasonably necessary to prevent misuse, protect people, comply with law, or maintain the service.

Events, giving & other services

Schedules, locations, availability, and event details can change. Saving a session or downloading a calendar entry does not register you. Where registration is required, follow the instructions for that activity and wait for its confirmation. Some events do not require registration.

Giving, some registrations, and other connected activities use external services such as Church Center. The terms, payment details, and any cancellation or refund conditions displayed by the provider or specific activity apply. Native website forms do not collect payment-card information. Contact Journey about a donation error or event payment; do not include full card details in email or a website form. This website makes no guarantee about an individual gift’s tax treatment.

External websites, media players, maps, and social platforms are operated by others. We do not control their availability, content, security, or terms. A link identifies a resource or connection; it is not a guarantee about everything on the linked service.

Availability & responsibility

We aim to keep the website accurate, useful, and available, but it may contain errors or experience interruptions. To the extent permitted by law, it is provided “as is” and “as available,” without implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free content, or that every technical issue will be corrected immediately.

To the extent permitted by law, Journey is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from use of, or inability to use, the website. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or any nonwaivable statutory rights. These terms do not require arbitration or waive a right to bring a claim that applicable law protects.

Applicable law & changes

Oregon law governs these terms, without displacing mandatory protections that apply where you live. If a provision cannot be enforced, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law. A failure to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive it in the future.

We may revise these terms as the website changes. The effective date identifies the current version. Changes apply prospectively, and we will provide additional notice or seek agreement where the law requires it. Please contact us if you have a question or concern before relying on a feature or resource.
