It's easy to use and the customer service is amazing! Pros It's a great platform to communicate to the masses. I also love the different groups of people that we can create in order to message to specific groups. Cons The one aspect of the platform is some difficulty I have had with adding on bundles when needed. But they do offer a wide range of packages so you can discover which works best for you. The customer service is also outstanding and they have been very present to walk me through any difficulties!

Robin R. Event DIrector Religious Institutions ### "Text in Church is a HAVE TO HAVE Tool! " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 April 15, 2026 This is an excellent tool for churches for many reasons. 1. You can use it to communciate with people wanting to know more about Jesus in a “Text Yes” Campagin. 2. It’s a great want to communicate things to your congregation. If there is emergency or unexpected close (we had snow in North Carolina) 3. Communicate with your volunteers with reminders. Pros The flexibility for several Ministries to use this software. We have several teams…..Groups, General Congregation, Guest Services & Events. This way, we can all manage our messages more effectively and efficiently. We started using in on Sundays for people to text YES when we ask if they’d like to labor more about Jesus. This give us at least a starting point with new believers and people that are interested. For my volunteer team on Events, I use text in church to tell them there is an important email that they need to look for.WIth all the emails these days, many just miss important emails. Telling folks that an important email just went out about volunteering ad one of our 3 campuses is an effective what to get great sign ups. Cons The only drawback, is people thinking it’s someone’s personal phone number and they send some personal information.

BK Brooke K. Co-Pastor Religious Institutions ### "Text in church is fabulous! " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 15, 2026 It’s been wonderful. We love text in church - tools that help us do the heavy lifting so we can focus on the mission and people! Pros Great value for the money. It helps us be proactive with new guests by getting info and messages out so quickly. The responsiveness of the platform is stellar. Cons We need to build in some personal elements in the middle of the workflow to stay connected. We would love to be able to add our name or church name as the number so people don’t think it’s a spam call or text. We are considering addressing ourselves in the message so at least it’s possible iPhones would recognize and list it as us.

Director of IT Religious Institutions ### "Solid texting platform for churches" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 March 6, 2026 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.

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.

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.
