YOUR INFORMATION
Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 15, 2026
WeMinister is a software service operated by TDFJR, LLC, 151 S. Washington St., Tiffin, Ohio 44883. This Policy explains how WeMinister handles information when churches, organizations, administrators, and volunteers use the service.
Information we collect
We may collect account names, email addresses, organization details, billing status, support communications, login and security information, browser/device details, and ministry scheduling information. Organizations may add volunteer names, contact information, ministry qualifications, availability, family groupings, assignments, portal access details, and communication preferences.
How information is used
We use information to operate accounts, build and publish schedules, send requested reminders and urgent ministry notices, provide volunteer access, process subscriptions, secure the service, provide support, maintain records, and improve WeMinister.
Payments
Payments are processed by Helcim through TDFJR, LLC’s Chandelier account. WeMinister does not store complete card or bank-account numbers. The payment descriptor may reference The Chandelier Community Event Center rather than WeMinister.
Email, text, and notifications
Email reminders may be delivered through connected email services. Text messages are delivered through Telnyx to mobile numbers provided by organizations with permission to contact the recipients. Volunteers can turn off texts in their portal or reply STOP; WeMinister records those choices and delivery activity. Reply HELP for assistance. A STOP reply requires START before texts resume.
Text messages may concern ministry assignments, reminders, schedule changes, substitute requests, cancellations, and urgent church notices. Frequency varies based on assignments and church activity, typically no more than 10 messages per month. Message and data rates may apply. Text messages are optional and are not a condition of purchasing or using WeMinister or participating in ministry. We do not sell or share mobile messaging information with third parties for their own marketing.
Service providers
We use service providers for hosting, database storage, payments, email delivery, text messaging, browser notifications, and customer support. They may process limited information only as needed to provide those functions.
How information is shared
We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared with the organization that manages the schedule, authorized service providers, legal authorities when required, or a successor if the service is reorganized or transferred.
Retention and deletion
Information may remain saved after a trial ends so an organization can resume service without rebuilding its schedule. Authorized administrators may request export or deletion.
Security
We use account authentication, encrypted connections, restricted credentials, signed text-message webhooks, and organization-level data separation.
Your choices
You may decline browser notifications, turn off text messages in the signed-in Volunteer Portal, reply STOP to text messages, update organization or volunteer information, cancel a subscription, or request access, correction, export, or deletion of applicable information.
Children
WeMinister is provided to organizations and is not directed to children for independent account creation.

Privacy questions and requests may be sent to TDFJR, LLC, 151 S. Washington St., Tiffin, Ohio 44883, or notifications@weminister.org.
