Photo and Video Policy
​Photo by Kaique Rocha
Sharing photos and videos of members/guests and events at United Christian Church is a privilege for us, and we intend to respect and honor it.
In this digital age, the church takes many pictures of baptisms, choir performances, worship services, mission trips, special presentations, Sunday School, fellowship activities and community outreach projects. We use these pictures to record, to promote, and to celebrate our church ministries. Pictures may be used on bulletin boards, in slide shows and PowerPoint presentations, in printed publications, on our church website, and social media platforms.
Media Use Policy
Media Opt-Out Form
Some persons may choose not to have their photos, or photos of their children, used and we respect their wishes. Therefore, we are providing a Media Opt-Out form for individuals or families who prefer NOT to have photographs of themselves used by the church. If you have no objection to the use of your photos, you do not need to sign or return this form.
Copies of this form are available in the church office and here.
