The short answer: is Text In Church right for your church?
Text In Church is a texting and email platform built around guest follow-up, with connect cards, automated workflows and two-way texting. It's best for churches that want a plan for turning first-time guests into regular attenders. The catch: plans are priced by message credits, and texts over your monthly limit cost 3 cents each.
Who Text In Church is for
Great for
- Churches without a reliable way to follow up with first-time guests
- Small staffs that want follow-up texts to go out automatically
- Church plants, which can get six months free
Skip it if
- Churches that send only occasional announcements. A basic email tool may be enough.
- Churches that need giving and kids' check-in in one system. Choose church management software and connect a texting tool.

Prayer requests by text
Invite people to text a keyword with prayer requests, and reply one-on-one from the inbox instead of a group chat.

Text your list about serving needs for Christmas services and follow up personally with each person who replies.
