Overall Text in Church has been a great partner and tool for our ministry. It gives us another tool to connect with the church.

Pros

With the ability to text in this day and age is critical and Text in Church makes it simple to get started. They offer a complete set of features, local numbers, keywords, groups and more.

Cons

I wish you could set multiple keywords or phrases to trigger an action instead of just one word. We get a lot of phrases that don't end up triggering a workflow.

Overall, Text in Church is a reliable, mostly user-friendly texting tool for churches. From scheduling texts to managing groups, there are many great options.

Pros

I appreciated the ability to connect with Planning Center People Lists and schedule texts and workflows.

Cons

I didn't prefer the interface, and, until recently, it didn't function as a full integration within Planning Center.

I didn’t know about the integrations until I decided to switch companies. Also it is a little more expensive. Customer service was great though.

Pros

The templates are great and help to save a lot of time trying to do it yourself.

Cons

When I read a message in the app it still shows I have a message until I manually mark it as read or archive it. That was annoying to me.

We have used Text In Church for several years and it works practically without error. We use it to send out announcements, to communicate within groups, and to process information requests for new visitors, guests, and special topics.

Pros

Text in Church provides reliable messaging services for our church. We're also able to integrate it with our website for collecting visitor information.

Cons

It requires close collaboration of users when multiple people are using it at the same time.

We experienced a great system that was serving our needs for a period of time but found that we could use another system that was more cost effective for us.

Pros

Text in Church provides a comprehensive system to follow up with guests and to communicate with members of your church effectively.

Cons

The cost is not feasible for all churches.
