All individuals who are interested in joining Heart Of Worship Ministry’s Facebook Group or Zoom calls will be pre-screened by a group administrator. Individuals who are successfully pre-screened are required to complete an official Membership Profile and Consent Form for accountability purposes and to grant HOW the right to collect your information.
The information you provide will be collected through Google Forms, a survey administration software, which will provide the group administrator(s) with a centralized and organized way to review and filter through every member’s profile data.
On the form, you will notice it asks for you to share some personal information. Here’s why:
First, Last Name: Your real name is being asked on the form for accountability and security purposes, and so group administrator(s) can know who has joined the community.
Phone Number, Email, Mailing Address: In the event Facebook shuts down or one’s account is deleted/deactivated, it’s considered a best practice to have an alternative way of keeping in contact with all members. The best way to keep the line of communication active is through phone, email, and/or mailing address.
Birthday: To acknowledge you on your special day.
Marital Status: Knowing your marital status will help the group administrator(s) to offer services to you that you may benefit from (For example: married women–or those interested in marriage–can opt to receive marriage counseling or mentorship in the area of marriage).
City, State: Your city/state is a required field so you can be added to the appropriate Facebook Group sub-chat that is nearest you.
Ethnicity, Country, Continent: Information such as your ethnicity, country, and continent will be used for general data and statistical purposes to know where everyone is from. It also helps to know what time zones everyone is in so the group administrator(s) can be mindful of the time they schedule Zoom Meetings or offer to give you a call.
Mailing Address, Occupation: Some fields are optional to share, such as your home address and occupation. Though not required, they are asked in the event you would like to have a resource mailed to you or to connect you with others who may be in your same career field for peer-to-peer learning.
Your consent matters: Certain questions on the form ask for your consent on certain things like: being added to an email list, receiving a call from a group moderator, or to serve on the admin team.
Disclaimer: All of your responses are stored in a confidential, password protected, online database, only accessible to group administrators (Heart Of Worship Ministry’s founder, Deborah Johnson, and any group moderator whom has been selected to assist in the work of ministry). Your information will not be shared or sold to any third parties, and will only be used for internal purposes related to this ministry, as mentioned in this disclaimer. By submitting the Membership Profile and Consent Form, you consent to having your information used for the reasons stated.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
If anyone has any questions, comments or concerns, do not hesitate to contact a group administrator.
