Background

SMS Opt-In Workflow

Documentation of how visitors consent to receive text messages from RCCG The Few

Opt-In Process Overview

RCCG The Few collects SMS consent through our visitor registration form on the "Plan Your Visit" page. Users must actively check a consent checkbox to opt-in to receiving text messages from our church.

Where Opt-In Occurs

Users can opt-in to receive SMS messages at:

  • Plan Your Visit Form - Visitor registration with SMS opt-in checkbox
  • In-person at our church location through physical forms
  • During event registrations with explicit consent options

Consent Mechanism

Explicit Checkbox Consent

Users must actively check a box labeled: "I would like to receive text messages about church events and updates" or similar language. The checkbox is unchecked by default, ensuring explicit opt-in consent.

Clear Disclosure

The form clearly states that message and data rates may apply, and provides information about message frequency and opt-out instructions (reply STOP).

Terms Reference

The form includes links to our SMS Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy.

Sample Opt-In Language

"By checking this box, I consent to receive text messages from RCCG The Few about church services, events, and announcements. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time. Reply HELP for help. See our SMS Terms and Privacy Policy for more information."
