The Sponsor may request reasonable information to verify a potential winner's identity, age, pastoral role, Church affiliation, affirmation of the Statement of Faith, or other eligibility requirements before awarding the prize.

Void where prohibited or restricted by applicable law.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

FaithVenture Media exists specifically to serve Evangelical Churches. Accordingly, theological alignment is an eligibility requirement for this Giveaway.

By entering, you represent that you have read, understand, and affirm FaithVenture Media's Statement of Faith.

FaithVenture Media's Statement of Faith can be found here: https://faithventuremedia.com/statementoffaith

An entrant who cannot affirm FaithVenture Media's Statement of Faith is not eligible to enter or receive the prize.

HOW TO ENTER

To enter the Giveaway, follow the onscreen instructions to complete and submit the online entry form (“Primary Entry”).

Entrants may also have opportunities to receive additional entries (“Bonus Entries”) by completing eligible actions displayed on the Giveaway page.

Where referrals are offered as a Bonus Entry opportunity, the referred person must complete the required entry process through the entrant's referral for the referral to qualify.

All entries must be received by October 31, 2026, by the closing time displayed on the official Giveaway page.

No purchase, payment, donation, subscription, or paid relationship with FaithVenture Media is required to enter or win.

Purchasing a FaithVenture Media product or service will not increase an entrant's chances of winning.

Automated entries, fake identities, duplicate accounts, fictitious referrals, disposable email accounts used to manipulate the Giveaway, bots, scripts, macros, or other attempts to artificially increase an entrant's chances of winning are prohibited.

The Sponsor may invalidate entries or Bonus Entries that it reasonably determines resulted from fraud, abuse, manipulation, or violation of these Official Rules.

PRIZE & APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUE (“ARV”)

One (1) winner will receive:

One Church Growth Clarity Call with FaithVenture Media

The prize consists of a private online consultation of approximately 60 minutes focused on identifying and discussing a significant Church Growth challenge facing the winner's Church and determining practical next steps.

Approximate Retail Value: $100 USD

The Church Growth Clarity Call may include discussion of areas such as Church outreach, guest experience and follow-up, Church websites, digital communication, social media, technology, marketing, systems, and other practical Church Growth challenges relevant to the winner's Church.

The prize:

  • cannot be redeemed for cash;
  • cannot be sold;
  • cannot be transferred to an individual who would not otherwise qualify for the Giveaway;
  • cannot be exchanged for another FaithVenture Media service unless the Sponsor agrees; and
  • does not obligate the winner to purchase any other FaithVenture Media product or service.

The Church Growth Clarity Call provides practical discussion, recommendations, ideas, and potential next steps.

No particular Church Growth, attendance, membership, financial, outreach, or other ministry result is promised or guaranteed.

The winner remains responsible for deciding whether and how to implement recommendations discussed during the call. This reflects the prize terms established in the previous rules.

ODDS

Odds of winning depend upon the total number of eligible entries and valid Bonus Entries received during the Giveaway Period.

WINNER SELECTION

One potential winner will be selected in a random drawing from all eligible entries received.

The random drawing will be conducted on or about November 2, 2026, by or on behalf of SC FaithVenture Media SRL.

Selection as a potential winner does not automatically establish eligibility. The potential winner must satisfy the eligibility requirements before being officially confirmed as the winner.

The Sponsor's decisions concerning entry validity, eligibility, winner verification, and administration of the Giveaway are final.

WINNER NOTIFICATION

The potential winner will be contacted using the email address or other contact information submitted with the entry.

The potential winner must respond within seven (7) calendar days of the initial winner notification unless the Sponsor provides a different deadline.

Before awarding the prize, the Sponsor may ask the potential winner to confirm:

  • his identity;
  • that he is at least 18 years old;
  • his current pastoral role;
  • his Church affiliation;
  • his affirmation of the FaithVenture Media Statement of Faith; and
  • his acceptance of these Official Rules.

If a potential winner cannot be contacted, does not respond within the required period, declines the prize, is determined to be ineligible, or cannot reasonably verify his eligibility, the prize will be forfeited and the Sponsor may select an alternate winner from the remaining eligible entries.

PRIZE REDEMPTION

After the winner has been confirmed, the winner and FaithVenture Media will arrange a mutually available time for the Church Growth Clarity Call.

The call will normally be conducted online using a video-conferencing or similar platform.

The winner is responsible for having the internet connection and equipment necessary to participate.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Sponsor, the winner must schedule and use the Church Growth Clarity Call within 90 days of being confirmed as the winner.

Failure to redeem the prize within that period may result in forfeiture of the prize.

BONUS ENTRIES & REFERRALS

Where the Giveaway allows entrants to earn Bonus Entries by referring others, referrals must be genuine.

Entrants may not:

  • create fictitious referrals;
  • use fake or duplicate email addresses;
  • create multiple identities;
  • use automated referral systems;
  • purchase fraudulent referrals;
  • spam unrelated individuals; or
  • otherwise manipulate the referral or entry system.

The Sponsor may invalidate entries or Bonus Entries it reasonably believes resulted from fraud, abuse, or manipulation.

ENTRY AND TECHNICAL ISSUES

In the event of a reasonable question concerning the identity of an online entrant, the Sponsor may treat the natural person assigned to the email address used for the entry as the entrant and may request reasonable verification.

Entries or entry data that have been tampered with, altered, fraudulently generated, or created through scripts, macros, bots, automated devices, or similar methods may be declared invalid.

The Sponsor is not responsible for entries that are lost, delayed, incomplete, corrupted, misdirected, or not received because of technical problems outside its reasonable control.

If a technical failure, platform malfunction, fraud, or another circumstance outside the Sponsor's reasonable control materially affects the fair administration of the Giveaway, the Sponsor may reasonably modify, postpone, suspend, or end the Giveaway.

If the Giveaway must end early, the Sponsor may select a winner from eligible entries properly received before the Giveaway ended.

GIVEAWAY COMMUNICATIONS

By entering, entrants agree that FaithVenture Media may contact them as reasonably necessary to administer the Giveaway.

These communications may include entry-related messages, eligibility questions, winner notifications, verification requests, and communications necessary to schedule or deliver the prize.
