Religious Organizations and Services

Dulcinea's Insight

  • Once you've visited a site that has information about a church or volunteer organization, you might want to make a phone call to get more information before you simply show up at services for the first time.
  • Some online religious groups want membership fees, donations, or payment for educational material. If a site requires payment to join, make sure that the organization is reputable and that the product is something you can't find for free somewhere else.
