"This company has allowed me to make the most of my limited time to better the ministry."

5/5

What do you like best about Text In Church?

We have leaned into almost everything Text in Church has to offer, and without a doubt, I can say it connected our church in ways that could not have happened without Text in Church. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Text In Church?

Honestly, the only limitation I've run into is myself! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Text In Church solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since we have started using Text in Church, many of our first-time guests have told us that "You are the only church that's communicated with us when we've reached out." We have slowly implemented it across all our outreach events and have seen outreach go farther with implementing our own custom Automated Workflows and keywords. Suppose you aren't sure your church will need Text in Church. In that case, I can assure you that Text in Church will make ministry more effortless and more impactful to your congregation and allow you to do the job of three people while knowing things are happening while you are spending time with your family or sleeping :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Text in Church is the only software you need to communicate with your church!"

5/5

What do you like best about Text In Church?

The software is easy to use, set up and provides amazing communication and connecting features with your people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Text In Church?

The only option that is currently lacking is open reports for mass emailing. You have to check each individual to see if they opened your email. If a report was available per batch email to confirm your open rates, you would not need any other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Text In Church:

Text in Church is easy to set up and use. With built in templates, the easy of set up will only take a few minutes and you'll be communicating with anyone and everyone. Groups allow for communication to be specific to the needs of people, and avoid "spamming". Added features are coming out all the time that constantly improve an already amazing software. And the customer service is so amazing, if you have any questions, no matter how big or small, they are there to help you get things resolved and do it with a smile and an amazing attitude.

Text in Church has allowed our guests know they are important to us, and we care about them, without having to spend hours and hours each checking who needs to be sent what email or text. Once you set up a template, it goes through the series of correspondence and you're done! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Text In Church solving and how is that benefiting you?

Connection with first time guests is 500x better. Connection creates return and people engage and take those next steps you're hoping for. Our congregation has a direct line to ask questions and get involved through text messages and emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Absolutely Love Text In Church!"

5/5

What do you like best about Text In Church?

Very easy to use, integrates well with other database systems, makes it easy to start and continue conversations with customers. We really appreciate that you get a real phone number - it makes us appear more personal, and not just like a bot or autoresponse. Plus, the Text in Church team is fantastic. Anytime we have problems, they jump right on to help. They've become our friends! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Text In Church?

We haven't come across any downsides. The team is quick to accept new ideas and is always implementing new concepts and features. Their support is amazing any time we get stuck. The only downside we've had for our church was that Text In Church does not yet integrate with Breeze CHMS, but for now we can download and upload CSV files, which is easy to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Text In Church:

Use Text in Church! Consider implementing text messaging into your follow up sequences (in addition to email) to increase response rates. Text In Church makes this easy, and allows you to have two-way conversations with customers. Be personal and friendly in your responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Text In Church solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to communicate information with customers that they might miss in emails. People are way more likely to open and answer a text, especially if a real person is responding to them on the other end. When we communicate information to customers and other event registrants, they're able to talk to us personally and ask any questions. This takes our customer service system to the next level.
