How to opt-in to being shown to other users of The BLESS App

The BLESS App is designed to encourage you to get to know your neighbors. We give you the best tools and information that we can so that you can work together with other Lights in your community to make sure every home has been adopted and is being BLESSed. 

That being said, we absolutely respect your privacy and want you to have to tools to control who see your information. 

By default, your Light role's first name, last name, and address will not be shown to other lights in your Census Block Group. You can find more information about this feature by reading THIS help article.

Use the following instructions to opt out of this feature.

  • Log into your account
  • Click the 'Settings' tab while viewing the role of which you would like to adjust this setting.

  • Scroll down and locate the option labeled 'Show up as a Light'.
  • Uncheck it if you would not like to be seen as a Light.

  • You must click the 'Save changes' button for this change to take effect.


The other way that other users could see your information is if you are affiliated with a church or association in your Light role's settings.

If you are affiliated, church or association administrators will have access to view your name, email address, dashboard, map, and list as well as the current status level of each household in your prayer list. These administrators do not have access to the settings of your overall account (changing account email, name, password, or email sending status), settings for your light role (days to receive emails, neighborhood list size, neighborhood borders, church and association affiliation, and other settings), other roles in your account that are not affiliated, and the contents of any notes that you have saved to neighbor's home. Additionally, these administrators will not be able to edit the names of any households on your list nor add new households manually.

To unaffiliate yourself, follow these steps

  • Log into your account,
  • Click the 'Settings' tab while viewing the role that you would like to unaffiliate from a church or organization.

  • Locate the 'Your church' option and click 'Change'. This should cause the search box to appear which indicates that you are not connected to a church.
  • This will pull up a text box. Leave the text box blank. This will ensure you unaffiliate with a church.


  • When you are done, you must click the 'Save changes' button for these changes to take effect.
