Terms

Terms for using The Beacon.

The Beacon is an internal matching tool for Celebrate Recovery leadership and participants. It supports introductions. It does not replace discernment, leadership review, or pastoral care.

Use of the tool

Use the system only for sponsorship matching and follow-up. Do not use it to store unrelated personal information or private notes that should not live in an admin dashboard.

Matching results

Compatibility scores are guidance, not guarantees. Leadership judgment always matters more than a score, and admins can override recommendations when context requires it.

Sponsor availability

Sponsors are responsible for setting honest capacity. Admins are responsible for monitoring pauses, accepted requests, and closed matches.

Ministry responsibility

Each church or CR team remains responsible for same-sex matching, safe handoff procedures, and escalation when a match is not appropriate.

Pilot status

This version is intentionally lean. Features, workflows, and retention practices may change as the ministry validates the process.
