Community Guidelines

A Caring Prayer Community

Held brings people together to pray for one another. Share with honesty, receive others’ requests with compassion, and help keep this a respectful place for people facing both everyday concerns and difficult seasons.

Treat Others With Respect

• Do not use prayer requests or updates to shame, bully, harass, threaten, or attack another person.
• Do not share hateful or discriminatory content, sexual exploitation, graphic violence, or sexually explicit material.
• Respect different backgrounds and experiences. Do not use Held to pressure others or argue about beliefs.

Share With Care

• Keep requests and updates focused on prayer and the situation you are sharing. Difficult topics, including grief, illness, abuse, and mental health, can be described sensitively without graphic details.
• Be truthful. Do not impersonate another person, invent emergencies, or use misleading requests to manipulate members.
• Do not post spam, advertisements, scams, or requests for money, passwords, or financial information.
• Only mark that you prayed when you have done so. Share updates and thank-yous thoughtfully, without pressuring others to respond.

Protect Personal Information

Share only what you are comfortable making available to invited circle members. Avoid addresses, phone numbers, financial details, or other identifying information in requests and updates. Get permission before sharing another person’s private circumstances, especially information about children.

Treat the requests you receive as personal. Do not copy, screenshot, or share another member’s request outside Held without their permission. For information about account details and who can see prayer activity, read our Privacy Policy.

Report A Concern

To report inappropriate content or a concerning request, email held@aseatforjesus.com. Include the requester’s display name, the request or update date, and a short explanation of your concern. Include a circle link if available, and share only the details needed to explain the issue. Never send passwords or sign-in codes.

There is currently no in-app Report button. You can hide a request in Pray For Others to remove it from your own visible list; hiding does not report it or remove it for everyone. Do not confront the member or organize public accusations.

Review And Follow-Up

A Seat For Jesus is still establishing who reviews reports, the review schedule, and the process for content removal, account restrictions, and appeals. This draft does not promise a response deadline, a particular outcome, or automated moderation. Questions about a report or a moderation decision can be sent to held@aseatforjesus.com.

Safety And Urgent Situations

Held is a prayer community, not an emergency service or a substitute for professional medical, mental-health, or legal support. Do not rely on a prayer request or report email for urgent help. Reports are not monitored continuously. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. For a crisis that is not an immediate emergency, seek a qualified local professional or crisis service.

Member Ages

Held is intended for people aged 13 and older. Do not use prayer requests to seek private contact with minors or share a child’s identifying information. If you believe a child under 13 is using Held, contact held@aseatforjesus.com.

Questions And Changes

These guidelines apply to prayer requests, shared updates, display names, and profile photos. A Seat For Jesus can revise this draft as the community’s review process is established. Questions and feedback are welcome at held@aseatforjesus.com.
