Media Policy
PHOTOS AND VIDEOS AT BATTLECREEK CHURCH EVENTS
At BattleCreek Church, we capture photos, videos, and live stream videos during our events. While attending as part of the crowd, you or those with you may be in a photo or video. We use photos and videos we capture as part of our day-to-day operations. Photos and videos tell stories, they help shape what visitors may expect, highlight the work of those who serve, and the impact we are having in the community. We also use photos and videos to operate our website and social media channels to recap and promote events and keep everyone updated.
