Media Policy
At Greater
Christ Baptist Church (GCBC), we embrace the use of photos, video, and other
media to share the Gospel of Jesus, provide guests with information about what
to expect when they attend our worship services and events, and communicate our
mission via our web site, social media, and other digital/print media to people
who do not attend church.
Accordingly,
photography, videography, live streaming, and other recordings may be utilized
during GCBC services, ministry activities, classes, and other programs/events,
and GCBC may use the media recorded at these events in materials produced by or
for the church, including but not limited to worship guides, banners,
brochures, newsletters, flyers, other printed/electronic materials, and digital
or social media.
By
participating in GCBC’s services, ministry activities, classes, programs and
events:
1) you consent to be recorded as described above;
2) you grant your permission for GCBC to use recordings containing your image,
likeness, voice and/or statements, without compensation, credit, or other
consideration to you, for GCBC’s promotion, publicity, and other purposes,
throughout the world and in perpetuity; and
3) you agree to release, hold harmless, and indemnify Greater Christ Baptist
Church from any and all liabilities and claims involving the use of your image,
likeness, voice, or statements.
While we
reserve the right to photograph and record church events, we strive to ensure
that photographs and videography are used in safe and positive ways. We
will not knowingly and intentionally post any photo, video, or other recording
that would be embarrassing, objectionable, or hurtful to any clearly,
personally identifiable individual in the recording.
Additionally,
if you see a photo on our website or social media page (Facebook, Instagram,
Twitter) that includes you or your child and would like it removed, please
contact the church at info@GreaterChristChurch.org. Please note we cannot
remove your image from video or live stream messages. Please also understand
that Greater Christ Baptist Church has no control over the recording, use, and
posting of images or other media by non-church staff (e.g., church members,
community members, news outlets, etc.) and no ability to remove such media from
publications, including internet or social media sites, that are not run by
Greater Christ Baptist Church.
