Please know that Peter and members of our staff will never ask you directly for money via email or text. Nor will they send vague emails asking for "just a small favor" or "a little of your time." All of our emails our are first initial and last name, followed by @dcpc.org. So Peter's is phenry@dcpc.org, Robert Alexander's is ralexander@dcpc.org.

If you think it is a scam, it probably is. If you aren't sure, call the church office. Don't engage or click on anything until you have confirmed. We are sorry this is happening. It is not a data breach. It is just someone trying to impersonate Peter and/or DCPC staff members.
