Welcome. Patriot Saints is a 508(c)(1)(A) nonprofit ministry. We exist to love people, point them to Jesus Christ, and tell the truth with honor. These words protect you and us so we can walk together without fear. By joining, you are saying yes to this family, not signing up for a fight.
1. What membership is
Membership is a voluntary gift of relationship. It opens the member area, specialist sponsors, teaching, and other helps we may add. It is not a job, not a replacement for your local church, and not a promise of a particular result. Jesus changes lives. We walk with you. We do not control outcomes.
2. Individuals
Individual plans are $5 a month, $49 a year, or $249 lifetime. Before we approve you, we ask two simple yeses: you receive these terms, including the care-and-release below, and you confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. That confession is an act of faith, offered in love, not a trap.
Confession: I confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. I believe He is the Son of God, that He died for my sins, and that God raised Him from the dead. I receive Him as Lord of my life.
3. Partner churches
Churches have a separate door and a separate area. A partner church attests, with joy, that Jesus is Lord, was born of a virgin, died on the cross, was raised from the dead for our sins, and is the Son of God. The church agrees to share Patriot Saints news on a schedule we will set together, and from time to time to welcome an update by Zoom, video, or in person, arranged with the pastor, never dropped on a congregation without notice. Each church may name a watchman to present the bulletin. We draft that bulletin. Rick approves it before it goes out. We do not send it automatically.
4. Giving, shop, and payment
Membership giving and shop gifts use separate Stripe accounts when those are connected. Until then, we record your signup or order as pending and do not charge a card on this site. Shop items (for members and partner churches) carry a minimum donation. You may give more. A pending record is not a debt you cannot cancel. Refunds, if any, will be handled in good faith.
5. How we care for one another (hold harmless)
We will treat you with honor. You remain free and responsible for your own medical, legal, and financial decisions. Specialist sponsors offer prayer, counsel from Scripture, and practical help. They are not a substitute for licensed medical, legal, or financial professionals when those are needed.
To the fullest extent the law allows, you release Patriot Saints, Rick Johnson, our officers, volunteers, specialist sponsors, and partner churches from claims for injury, property loss, financial loss, or other harm that may arise from using this site, from prayer or advice you choose to receive, or from any gathering, call, or visit you choose to join. You agree not to hold us liable for those things. If a dispute arises, we will first try to resolve it as brothers and sisters.
6. Honor
We ask everyone to treat people with love. We may close an account if someone uses this house to harass, deceive, or harm. We will do that quietly when we can.
7. Your information
We keep the name, email, and details you give us so we can serve your application and reply. We do not sell that list. We will not add you to a blast from this site without your yes.
8. Changes
We may update this covenant. We will date the new version. Using the site after that date means you accept the posted words.
