Stop someone from contacting you

Christian.com doesn't have a block button yet. You can still cut off contact with someone: remove them from your network, step away from shared spaces, hide your profile, and report them so our trust and safety team can act.

If you're in immediate danger, call your local emergency services (911 in the US) first.

Who can reach you

• Messages on Christian.com are conversations you start with an organization. Members can't send you a private message, and an organization can only reply in a conversation you started.
• Connection requests and mentoring requests can come from other members. Nothing is shared until you accept.
• Groups you join let the group's leaders see that you're a member, and messages posted to the group reach every member as a notification or email.

Decline or remove a connection

1. Open your account menu and choose My network.
2. On Received requests, click Decline for anyone you don't want to connect with.
3. On Connections, click Remove next to a person to end the connection.
4. On Sent requests, click Withdraw to take back a request you made.

Unfollow someone

Go to the person's profile page and click Following. The button changes back to Follow, and you stop following them.

Leave a group

Open the group and click Leave group. You stop getting the group's messages. If you asked to join and haven't been approved yet, click Withdraw request.

End a mentoring connection

1. Go to Discipleship, then Mentoring.
2. For a new request, click Decline. The other person is told it was declined.
3. For an active connection, click End connection. For a request you sent, click Withdraw request.

Hide your profile

Your public profile page shows only when you choose to show it. To hide it, turn off Show a public member profile in Settings. See Publish your profile page and choose who sees it.

Stop emails from an organization

If an organization you contacted keeps emailing you, use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of its email. See Stop receiving update emails.

Report harassment

1. Go to Report abuse.
2. Under What is the problem?, choose Harassment, threats, or hate speech, or the option that fits best.
3. Paste a link to the profile, group or page, and describe what happened.
4. Send the report. Our trust and safety team reviews it.

On an organization's page, you can also click Report profile. More in Report a listing, review, message or person.

Good to know

• Removing or declining someone doesn't stop them from seeing public pages, such as a published profile. Hide your profile if that matters to you.
• A block feature isn't available yet. If someone keeps finding new ways to reach you, report it so we can step in.
