Photo & Video Policy
At Mountain West Church, we value the way in which photos, videos and other media help our faith community grow and flourish. Photos and videos tell our story, provide guests with an idea of what to expect when they attend our gatherings/events, highlight the work of those who serve, and allow us to communicate our mission as a church via our website and other digital and print media.
Accordingly, photography, videography, live streaming and other recording may be in progress at Mountain West's Weekend Gatherings, ministry activities, classes, programs, and other events. Mountain West may use the media recorded at these events in materials produced by or for the church, including but not limited to our bulletins, posters, brochures, newsletters, website, social media, and other printed and electronic materials.
By participating in Mountain West Weekend Gatherings, ministry activities, classes, programs, and events: (i) you consent to be photographed, videotaped or otherwise recorded; (ii) you grant your permission for Mountain West to use recordings containing your image, likeness, voice or statements, without compensation, credit or other consideration to you, for Mountain West’s promotional, publicity and other purposes, throughout the world and in perpetuity; and (iii) you agree to release Mountain West from any and all liabilities and claims involving the use of your image, likeness, voice or statements.
While we reserve the right to photograph and record church events, we strive to ensure that photography and videography are used in safe and positive ways. We will not knowingly and intentionally post any photo, video or other recording that would be embarrassing, objectionable or hurtful to any clearly, personally identifiable individual in the media.
Additionally, if you see a photo on a Mountain West website or social media page that includes you or a family member and would like it removed, please contact us, at [email protected]. Please understand that we cannot remove your image from our live streams as this kind of media does not allow for us to edit the contents. Please understand that Mountain West has no control over the recording, use, and posting of images or other media by non-church staff (i.e. by church members, news outlets, etc.) and no ability to remove such media from publications, including internet or social media sites, that are not run by Mountain West.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
