BeBible & Altar
Last updated August 14, 2026
These guidelines apply to BeBible on iOS and Altar on Android. They are the same app under two names while the rename rolls out, and the rules below are identical on both.
Circles is an invite-only space for prayer accountability — small groups walking together through the daily rhythm of Scripture and reflection. These guidelines exist to keep that space safe, encouraging, and honest.
By posting any content in a Circle, you agree to these guidelines and to the Community Content Standards in our Terms of Service.
Use the reactions — Praying, Amen, Encouraged, Keep Going — to speak life over your circle. Don't shame others for their pace or struggles. Don't post for appearances; post to be known.
No sexual content or nudity. No hate speech, harassment, threats, or graphic violence. No spam, off-topic promotion, or chain messages. No content that glorifies self-harm or suicide.
Don't share other people's identifying details without consent. Don't screenshot other Circles or other apps' private conversations. Don't impersonate anyone — pastors, public figures, or other members.
Quote Scripture honestly and in context. Disagree charitably and stay rooted in the text rather than personal grievance. BeBible is not a venue for theological combat; it's a venue for accountability and encouragement.
You can report a check-in, block another member, leave a Circle, or delete your own check-in at any time. Two distinct reports auto-hide a check-in from the whole Circle pending review. Blocking a member hides their check-ins, reactions, and profile from you in every shared Circle. The other person isn't notified that you blocked them.
If you see something that crosses a line, please use the report tool — it's the fastest way to protect the Circle.
BeBible may remove content, hide check-ins, suspend accounts, terminate accounts, and refuse service to anyone who violates these guidelines or our Terms of Service. We have a no-tolerance policy for objectionable content and abusive behavior.
If you believe a moderation action against you was a mistake, email thealtarapp@gmail.com.
BeBible is a tool for spiritual discipline, not a crisis service. If you or someone in your Circle is in immediate danger, please contact local emergency services or a crisis line in your country. The report tool is not a substitute for emergency help.
These guidelines may evolve as Circles grows. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent version. Material changes will require you to re-accept the guidelines before posting again.
