There are times I wish there was a SMART Phone app to use. I often need to send a message but don't have access to my laptop. I use my SMART phone but an app could be much quicker.

Before I used to struggle with sending messages to guests at worship. This service allows me to send a series of messages automatically to our guests. And it has gotten good feedback from our visitors. I couldn't be more pleased with the service.

Love the concept and we are testing it out as a part of out churches assimilation system. It's tough to get folks to give up information these days. Jury is still out on whether or not Text-In Church will help us increase our visitor contacts. We just started so we will see what happens!

You can't go wrong with Text In Church. I sat on the outside for a long time wondering if I should get this or not. I hated I waited so long. This is one of the best services out on the market. The system is great, but improving. The customer service is off the charts. GREAT! Great!!!

The program is very easy to use and reliable! Sometimes I wish i could send larger texts. At times it is harsh to limit it to 140 characters.

Thanks for the review Zachary! You are able to send larger text messages. The character limit was increased with last months release.

We use this to regularly connect new guests, reach out to our core, and communicate vital information in a useful, relevant, efficient manner. We have more than doubled in size since we started using Text In Church. We are confident of Text In Church's contribution to that growth.

Text In Church does everything we would want it to do and more. Since using TIC we've been able to connect with our church on an entirely new level! I would encourage any church of any size to figure out how you can use this tool to help your church accomplish it's mission!

This is been a really easy program to learn and to use! We used it to promote our Student Ministry summer camp to both parents and students! LOVE it! Will be using to set up our first time attender follow up as well! So easy to upload contacts and easy to manage them.

We are just getting started with Text In Church, actually testing it out with the Children and Youth Ministry. So far, it is GREAT! We have used it for Easter Outreach Event, Art Classes, and general information to stay in the loop with activities. Great program!

Great tool for making first time guest feel welcome and important; keeping Church members aware of up coming events; sending out prayer request and sending the Church bulletin out. I would like more characters for text messages. (I know that is coming soon).

People were great but automatic responses were impersonal and too often
I appreciate what you are trying to do.
There was too much communication and it took forever to cancel. Then the emails were non stop
Hi Catherine, I'm really sorry you had a bad experience. If you'll just reply and let us know you don't want to stay in touch we'll be happy to stop communicating with you.

This texting service makes our mobile church life a lot easier. We can communicate locations, and even use the service to sign up for volunteer opportunities, etc. It is fantastic and they have bent over backwards to make our experience sooooo easy.

This has been a life saver in times when it is necessary to get a message to members as a group. It is also a great tool used in visitor follow-up. Saves time and allows you to set up follow up with visitors so that they are not lost in the shuffle.

I wish there was a mobile app, though I'm told there is one in the works. The plus side is I can be as active as I want with this system, once it is set up, I can add stuff manually all the time or just let it run and people join on their own.

This is the most practical and effective tool I have ever used to communicate with my visitors and my local team. As a pastor I can tell that my productivity level on communication has improved 200% since I started using Text In Church.

Excellent tool to help engage volunteers. Love the features and benefits, allowing me to operate on "auto pilot" in a season when things can "slip through the cracks of busy". Nothing negative to offer. Wish I had found it years ago.

We always struggled with guest follow up. Organizing enough volunteers to make calls or send emails. Text in church will manage itself once you set the schedules. One great asset was the pre created templates for emails and texts.

talking about keeping up to date, everyone checks their texts & emails several times daily. I personally think another great benefit is, that everyone gets the exact same message which lessens confusion. Thanks a million !!!

This is the easiest way to follow up with guests. The automation features are great! Being able to text people reminders each week has been a real step up for us!
There is a little bit of a learning curve. But once you learn how it works, it's really useful.
