Our commitments
These aren’t marketing lines — they’re constraints we build into the product. Hold us to them.
✓ No fake numbers, ever
Every count you see — candles, confirmations, totals — is generated from real records of real confirmed prayers. If our numbers are small, we show small numbers or none. We never seed, pad, or estimate.
✓ We sell what we can actually deliver
When you ask for a circle of prayers, we promise the sharing, and we keep sharing until every prayer you asked for is confirmed. We never promise outcomes — prayer is not a vending machine, and anyone who tells you a bigger payment buys a better answer from God is selling something else.
✓ No urgency, no guilt, no fear
You will never see a countdown timer, a 'last chance', or a message designed to scare or shame you into anything. If you ever do, something has gone wrong — tell us.
✓ Cancel anything in one tap
Every subscription, every email stream. No retention phone calls, no hidden settings, no hoops. Leaving should be as dignified as joining.
✓ A Sunday-quiet inbox
We never send commercial email on Sundays. Prayer delivery continues, because prayer doesn't take a day off — but selling does.
✓ Your privacy is structural
First names and states only, anonymity on request, no selling or sharing of your information, and requests are shown only to the members they're shared with. Details in our privacy policy.
✓ Crisis gets a human, immediately
If a request suggests someone may be in danger, it goes to a person, not just an algorithm — and we show real crisis resources right away, warmly. We are not a crisis service, and we never pretend to be one.
✓ We are honest about what we are
Gathered is a for-profit ministry business, not a church and not a charity. Prayer from members is real and freely given; what you pay for is the service that organizes, delivers, and protects it. We think honesty about this is rarer than it should be.
