Community covenant
Defines respectful participation, appropriate honesty, moderation, solicitation, and role boundaries.
Help & Safety
The community must be honest about what it is—and what it is not.
Oaks Community supports biblical formation and moderated participation. It is not an emergency service, confidential counseling platform, medical provider, or substitute for appropriate authorities.
Immediate danger or crisis
Do not wait for a community response.
Call emergency services in your location or go to the nearest emergency department. In the United States, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Suspected abuse or danger to a child or vulnerable person should be reported to the appropriate authorities according to applicable law.
Do not post
- Names or identifying details of another person
- Explicit sexual descriptions, images, or links
- Threats, active crisis reports, or emergency requests
- Medical records or confidential counseling documents
- Allegations requiring formal reporting or investigation
Moderation
Approved moderators may limit, remove, escalate, or preserve content according to published procedures.
Safeguarding
Youth and vulnerable-person participation remains disabled until screening, consent, reporting, and supervision are approved.
Privacy
No durable profiles, posts, messages, progress records, or counseling information are enabled in this controlled release.
Reporting
A future report pathway will state who receives it, what is recorded, when authorities may be contacted, and what response to expect.
Role verification
Member labels must not imply ordination, licensure, certification, supervision, or authority that has not been verified.
Before real membership opens
These decisions must be approved and published.
