Understanding your Prestonwood Baptist Church data breach notification letter

If a Prestonwood Baptist Church letter arrived in your mailbox, here is what it means, why you received it, and the free steps you can take right now.

Why you received this letter

Prestonwood Baptist Church is a large religious organization and community institution that manages extensive administrative records for its members, employees, and program participants. As an organization of this nature, they typically collect and store sensitive personal information, including names, contact details, financial donation records, and occasionally Social Security numbers for payroll or background check purposes. In 2025, the organization officially reported a data security incident to the Texas Attorney General, confirming that unauthorized access to their systems occurred. If you have received a formal data breach notification letter, it indicates that your personal information was likely involved in this incident. This notice is intended to provide you with transparency regarding the event and guidance on the steps you should take to protect your identity and financial security.

What to do after the letter

  1. Confirm the notice is genuine

    A legitimate Prestonwood Baptist Church notice references the specific incident reported to the Texas Attorney General and describes which categories of your information were involved. Compare the letter against the public filing before acting on any links or phone numbers it contains.

  2. Keep the letter — it is your proof of connection

    The notification letter is the document that ties your personal information to this incident. Keep the original and photograph it. If you later request a case review, this letter is the strongest evidence that you were among the affected individuals.

  3. Protect your accounts and credit

    Depending on what was exposed, consider a free credit freeze with all three bureaus, new passwords for reused credentials, and monitoring of financial statements. These steps are free and do not require you to wait for anyone's permission.

  4. Find out whether you have a claim

    Whether the Prestonwood Baptist Church breach gives you a legal claim depends on the facts. A free, no-obligation case review will tell you where you stand — there is no cost and no commitment to find out.
