Students may be contacted through text, email, designated social media accounts (such as Instagram or Facebook) or phone calls by student ministry staff and volunteers with student consent or initiation for the purposes of inviting students to events, providing information about Student Ministries, providing counseling to students, and checking in. Under no circumstances may text messages or emails between a student ministry staff and volunteers and a student be deleted.

LCPC Staff and Committees responsible for oversight may at any time require access to private correspondence between student ministry staff and volunteers and students. All communication between student ministry staff and volunteers and youth in 7th-8th grade (Jr. High) should be made between the hours of 8am-10pm. All communication between student ministry staff and volunteers and youth in 9th-12th grade (High School) should be made between the hours of 6am-12am, recognizing that occasionally a student may require correspondence outside of the aforementioned timeframe.

Student ministry staff and volunteers may under no circumstances request that children or students send pictures of themselves electronically and may under no circumstances send pictures of themselves to children or students electronically.
