Purpose

Guts Church, Inc. (also referred to herein as “Guts,” “Church,” “our,” “us,” or “we”) recognizes the importance of maintaining privacy and confidentiality protections when collecting, using, disclosing, and retaining information provided by Guts Church participants. This Privacy Policy, along with our Terms of Use, governs your relationship with Guts Church. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to establish the standards Guts Church applies to protect the privacy and confidentiality of participant information. By using Guts Church websites, mobile applications, and social media applications, you agree to this Privacy Policy and its terms.

Guts Church was founded in December 1992 by Pastors Bill and Sandy Scheer in Tulsa, Oklahoma. From the beginning, Guts provided an extraordinary experience for all, especially the unchurched. Today, with services and programs in Tulsa and Skiatook, thousands call Guts Church home, and lives continue to be changed.

Guts Church is guided by our vision and beliefs. We believe the Bible is God’s perfect work, fully applicable in every situation we face in life. The Word is our final authority, and success in life depends on it (Psalm 119:160, Hebrews 4:12). Our mobile applications, websites, texting platforms, social media applications, and online content offerings such as “GutsX” serve as tools to connect users with helpful information and equip them to become devoted followers of the Bible.
