Daniel B.

Executive Director

“We use it to send out announcements, to communicate within groups, and to process information requests for new visitors, guests, and special topics.”

Scott M.

IT Lead

“There was a steep learning curve as our staff and volunteers have learned how to navigate the Text in Church system.”

Daniel B.

Executive Director

Cons

Matthew S.

Pastor

“The group communication was the biggest downfall of our Small Groups pastor. ”

Michelle K.

Cons

“The pay structure in relation to the features I do and do not use makes it so that I pay a lot for the few services I use, but then have to pay more if I want to use the features I do use to their full capacity.”

Deidre J.

Founding Pastor

“We found it expensive and cumbersome.”

Andrea S.

Pastor

“The texts were not reliable.”
