Introduction

Welcome to our privacy policy! It’s great that you’d like to know more about how we keep your information safe. We are committed to respecting and keeping your personal information safe. This Privacy Policy will give you information about how Daystar Christian Ministries, known as “Daystar Christian Ministries” “Daystar” or “Daystar Kids” (“us”, “we”, “our”), protects your personal information and data and applies to our hosted websites listed: www.daystarchristinministries.org and www.daystarshine.org (“Website”).

If you are looking for Daystar collects, stores, uses, and shares your personal data we collect, you have come to the right place!

Let’s start out with who we are!

We exist to proclaim the good news of His [Jesus] salvation in assembly freely and openly (Romans 1:16) bringing the light to a dark place (2 Peter 1:19) (Matthew 5:16) without constraint (Psalms 40:9).

We are a mobile kid’s church, teaching biblical truths, focusing on reaching children in vulnerable communities and assisting their families in underserved communities, where all are welcome on the tarps (streets) and in the parks of Mecklenburg County. We bring light to a dark place and we bring hope, as even ourselves would have lost hope if we did not believe we would see the Lord’s goodness (Psalm 27:13).

The Daystar Kids Ministry team will teach His parables and will utter sayings of old, which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generations to come the praises of the Lord, and His strength and His wonderful works that He has done. For He established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children; That the generation to come might know them, the children who would be born, That they may arise and declare them to their children, That they may set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep His commandments. (Psalm 78:1-5)
