Our Use of Personal and Non-Personal Information
We collect two kinds of information about our online visitors: the first kind is voluntary information which you provide in the process of registering for events, such as your name and contact information.

The information that Grace collects helps us provide information and service to you and may be used by Grace for church purposes. Grace will not sell, rent or lease your personal information to commercial entities.
