Guidance On Public Recordings

Church parking entrance: If you notice someone video recording near church property, please remain calm and do not engage, confront, or argue with them. In other words, the best approach is to completely ignore them. While their presence may feel intrusive, individuals have the legal right to film from public sidewalks or spaces, as long as they are not interfering with church operations or blocking entrances. These individuals are often looking to create content for their YouTube channels. The most faithful and powerful response we can offer is praying for them, without giving them the reaction they may be seeking.
