Cross Connect — Church Network

Terms of Service

Effective Date: June 15, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Cross Connect — Church Network ("Cross Connect," "the app," or "the platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Ojee Labs ("we," "us," or "our"), the operator of Cross Connect.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download or use the app.

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated through a notice within the app. Your continued use of Cross Connect after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

2. About Cross Connect

Cross Connect — Church Network is a ministry technology platform that provides Christian congregations with a branded digital app experience and connects members to a wider fellowship network of affiliated churches. It is operated by Ojee Labs as a ministry initiative. The platform is free to use. Ongoing development is supported by voluntary congregational pledges and individual donations.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account and use Cross Connect. By registering, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old. If we learn that an account has been created by someone under 18, we will terminate that account and remove associated data.

4. Account Registration

To access most features of Cross Connect, you must create an account. When registering, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information including your first name, last name, and email address
  • Keep your account information current and up to date
  • Maintain the confidentiality of your password and account credentials
  • Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account
  • Notify us immediately at support@ccchurchnet.com if you believe your account has been compromised

You may not create an account on behalf of another person without their explicit consent. You may not create multiple accounts for the purpose of circumventing moderation or congregation approval processes.

5. Congregation Membership

Cross Connect allows you to join a congregation within the app. By requesting to join a congregation, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • Congregation membership is subject to approval by that congregation's administrator or leaders
  • Cross Connect does not guarantee membership in any congregation
  • Congregations retain full authority over their membership and may approve, reject, or remove members at their sole discretion
  • Leaving a congregation takes effect immediately and revokes your access to that congregation's content and fellowship network at the moment of leaving
  • You may request to join a different congregation at any time after leaving

Cross Connect does not mediate disputes between members and congregations. Membership decisions are made entirely by congregation leadership.

6. Independent Users

Users who choose not to join a congregation ("Independent Users") have access to the congregation directory only. Independent users may browse available congregations and submit join requests. Cross Connect content beyond the directory is not accessible to independent users.

7. Fellowship Network

Members of congregations that participate in a fellowship network gain access to Cross Connect's fellowship features, including area-wide calendar, fellowship announcements, business directory, and live streams. Fellowship participation is determined by the platform administrator and is based on the congregation's affiliation. Individual members have no ability to control their congregation's fellowship assignment.

8. User Conduct

You agree to use Cross Connect only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with its ministry mission. You agree not to:

  • Post content that is false, misleading, defamatory, harassing, threatening, abusive, obscene, or otherwise harmful
  • Harass, intimidate, or harm other users in any way
  • Impersonate any person, congregation, or organization
  • Post spam, unsolicited commercial content, or repetitive messages
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the platform, another user's account, or any related systems
  • Use the platform to promote or distribute content that violates applicable law
  • Scrape, harvest, or collect data from Cross Connect without prior written permission
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the platform
  • Use the platform in any way that conflicts with its purpose as a ministry tool

We reserve the right to remove any content and suspend or terminate any account that violates these standards, without prior notice.

9. Content You Post

You retain ownership of any content you post to Cross Connect, including announcements, prayer requests, bulletins, business listings, and profile information. By posting content, you grant Ojee Labs a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to store, display, and transmit that content within the platform solely as necessary to operate the service.

You are solely responsible for the content you post. You represent and warrant that:

  • You have the right to post the content
  • The content does not violate any applicable law or third-party rights
  • The content is appropriate for a Christian ministry platform

We do not endorse or verify user-submitted content. We are not responsible for content posted by users.

10. Prayer Requests

Prayer requests marked "All Members" are visible to all verified members of your congregation. Prayer requests marked "Leaders Only" are visible exclusively to users with a Leader role in your congregation. Cross Connect cannot guarantee the absolute confidentiality of any content posted on the platform. Do not share information in a prayer request that you are not comfortable sharing with your congregation or its leaders.

11. Business Directory

The fellowship business directory allows members to list their businesses for other members to discover. Business listings are self-submitted and unverified by Cross Connect. We make no representations regarding the accuracy, quality, safety, or legitimacy of any listed business. Users who engage with businesses found through the directory do so entirely at their own risk. Cross Connect is not a party to any transaction between members and listed businesses.

12. Congregation Administrators and Leaders

Users designated as congregation administrators or leaders are granted elevated permissions within their congregation, including the ability to post announcements, approve or reject membership requests, and moderate congregation content. By accepting an administrator or leader role, you agree to:

  • Not abuse your elevated access to harm other users
  • Comply with these Terms in all administrative actions

Ojee Labs reserves the right to revoke administrator or leader status at its discretion.
