Community Rules
Near to God app · Last updated: November 1, 2026
Community is where people share what they're carrying and pray for one another. Some of them are going through the hardest days of their lives. Please treat every post as you'd want your own to be treated.
We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users.
Not allowed
- Hate speech or slurs about anyone's race, ethnicity, nationality, religion or denomination, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age
- Harassment, bullying, mocking someone's request, or targeting another user
- Threats, violence, or telling anyone to hurt themselves
- Sexual or sexually suggestive content
- Spam, advertising, links to sell things, or asking for money
- Sharing someone else's private information without their permission
- Pretending to be someone else, including a pastor or Near to God staff
- Arguing about doctrine or attacking other people's faith. Encourage, don't debate
Please do
- Share honestly. You can post anonymously if you'd rather not show your name
- Pray for others and leave kind, encouraging words
- Leave out last names and details that could identify the people you're praying for
How we keep it safe
- Posts and comments are checked for objectionable language before they're published.
- Tap … on any post, or Report under a comment, to report it. It disappears for you straight away.
- You can block anyone from the same menu. You won't see their posts or comments again, and our team is notified.
- We review every report within 24 hours. Content that breaks these rules is removed and the account that posted it is suspended or permanently banned.
If someone is in danger
Community isn't a crisis service. If you or someone you're praying for is thinking about suicide or is in danger, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, US) or your local emergency number now.
