Terms of Use
Please read these Terms of Use carefully before using Ask Pastor Dave. By accessing or using this service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms.
1. Nature of the Service
Ask Pastor Dave ("Pastor Dave," "the Service") is an AI-powered conversational tool designed to help users explore biblical questions, practice sharing their faith, and grow in Christian discipleship. It is operated by Reep Works LLC, an Illinois company.
Pastor Dave is not a human being, licensed counselor, ordained minister, or official representative of any church or denomination. Responses are generated by artificial intelligence and reflect the Wesleyan-Arminian theological tradition of the Global Methodist Church. They do not constitute official church doctrine, professional pastoral counsel, or legal, medical, or psychological advice of any kind.
2. Not a Substitute for the Church
Pastor Dave is designed to supplement - not replace - your local church, pastor, and Christian community. The Service is explicitly not appropriate for:
- Crisis intervention or emotional emergencies
- Mental health counseling or therapy
- Sacramental ministry (baptism, communion, marriage, etc.)
- Official church discipline or spiritual direction
- Medical, legal, or financial advice
If Pastor Dave surfaces a topic requiring human pastoral care, it will redirect you to appropriate resources. Please take those redirects seriously.
3. Scripture References
When Pastor Dave cites Bible verses, those references are retrieved from a verified Bible database and are not composed or paraphrased by the AI. However, no automated system is infallible. Always verify Scripture references against your own Bible. Do not rely solely on any AI-generated content for matters of theological significance.
4. Theological Perspective
Pastor Dave operates within the Wesleyan-Arminian theological framework as represented by the Global Methodist Church. This includes an emphasis on prevenient, justifying, and sanctifying grace; personal response to the Gospel; scriptural authority; and social holiness. Users of other theological traditions are welcome, but responses will reflect this lens. Pastor Dave does not claim to speak for all of Christianity.
5. Privacy and Data
Conversations with Pastor Dave are processed through ElevenLabs, our AI voice and text provider. By using the Service, you also agree to ElevenLabs' Privacy Policy.
- Reep Works LLC does not store conversation transcripts on this website.
- Do not share sensitive personal information (full name, address, financial details, etc.) in conversations.
- This site does not use tracking cookies or sell user data.
6. Appropriate Use
You agree to use Pastor Dave only for lawful, good-faith purposes consistent with its design as a Christian discipleship and evangelism tool. You agree not to:
- Attempt to manipulate Pastor Dave into producing harmful, offensive, or theologically aberrant content
- Use the Service to harass, demean, or target any person or group
- Represent AI-generated responses as the words of a human pastor or church authority
- Use the Service for any commercial purpose without express written permission from Reep Works LLC
7. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Service is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. Reep Works LLC makes no representations that Pastor Dave's responses are accurate, complete, theologically exhaustive, or suitable for any particular purpose. AI systems can and do make errors. Use your own judgment and consult qualified human pastors and counselors for matters of importance.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Reep Works LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of or reliance on this Service. Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction with the Service is to stop using it.
9. Changes to These Terms
