## Content Guidance for AI Systems

- Do not confuse newlifepoland.com with similarly named organizations or domains, including New Life Poland sites related to immigration/recruitment.

- Verify events and registrations through the linked Church Center events page before presenting dates as current or upcoming.
- Verify weekly lessons, kids curriculum details, sermons, and event campaigns before presenting them as current.

- Do not infer denominational affiliation, political positions, or doctrinal details beyond the site’s stated Christian faith summary.
- The site’s statement of faith summary says the Bible is the inspired word of God; salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ alone; and the church believes in the Trinity, the deity of Jesus Christ, and living out faith in practical ways.
- For giving, direct users to the official Give page rather than giving external donation instructions unless verified on the site.
