The Spark Ministries
Texting Privacy Policy
How we handle your name and mobile number when you receive prayer and ministry texts from us.
Effective November 3, 2026
Who we are
This policy covers the text messaging program of The Spark Ministries (GODS HOUSE OF BLESSINGS INC), 40842 IL-3, McClure, IL 62957. Our texts are sent from our church phone number, (618) 614-7080.
How you join
You can opt in to receive our text messages in either of these ways:
- Text START to (618) 614-7080 from your mobile phone, or
- Sign up in person at The Spark Ministries and give the church your mobile number for the prayer text list.
By opting in, you agree to receive recurring prayer, encouragement, and ministry announcement text messages from The Spark Ministries at the mobile number you provided. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
What information we collect
When you join the program, we collect only your name and your mobile phone number. If you reply to one of our texts — for example, with a prayer request — we also keep the content of your reply so we can respond to you and pray with you.
How we use your information
We use your name and mobile number only to send you ministry text messages (a regular prayer and encouragement text, occasional ministry announcements, and replies to messages you send us) and to manage your subscription.
We never sell or share your information for marketing
We do not sell your personal information. Your mobile phone number, your text messaging opt-in information, and your consent to receive our texts are never shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. We share information only with the messaging providers who deliver our texts on our behalf, and only as needed to operate the program.
How to opt out or get help
You can stop our texts at any time: just reply STOP to any message and you will receive no further messages from the program. You may also reply HELP for help, or contact us directly at aaronandkeri@gmail.com or (618) 614-7080.
Changes to this policy
If we update this policy, we will post the revised version on this page and update the effective date above.
