Legal Question in Technology Law in Minnesota

I am creating a website, CCCommons, that people in my church can post links to their goods and services which they wish to sell for others in the church to look over. I will host it privately (not through or with the church), but if a service goes wrong or a good breaks, I don't want myself or the church to be legally responsible. I don't know if it makes a difference, but this would be a completely free service. I created the following terms of use statement to have on the web page. Is it enough?

"CCCommons is privately hosted and maintained by (my name here). (Name of church) is in no way responsible for the content of this website. By using CCCommons, you agree that neither CCCommons nor Crossroads Church is responsible in any way for the goods or services offered on CCCommons. You, the CCCommons user, is responsible to evaluate and bear all risk in the selling or buying of goods/services. (My name) reserves the right to decline any request to post goods/services/wanted submissions and may also delete at any time any goods/services/wanted posts."

I think that language protects you. Is the name of the site the same as the church? Customer confusion should be avoided.
