I work in a Presbytery office, so we get a lot of calls or emails asking for things that range from easy to simply bizarre. Every once in a while we get a great question that begins conversation in the office and among others involved in the Presbytery. I got once such email this week from a Youth Director at a church of about 1,000 members.
We've been wondering for a long time about how to write / adopt a policy on posting pictures of minors on our church website. We really want to get some real, official documentation together on this and set up a GPC-Wide policy on this matter.
I've heard that there is a group at the Presbytery level that is working on this very project. Could you get me in touch with them? OR, if they have already produced some policies on this which we can just use as a reference and follow, could you send me that information?
Our Presbytery Policy is that we do not post any pictures of children, due in part to the fact that we do not have direct contact with the families that are involved to have any good discussion about the value. If a church sends us an announcement that includes pictures of children, we will use that based on the idea that the church has such a relationship.
So - what is the policy at your church?
