Announcing Our New Elvanto Church Management Integration

Churches using Elvanto can now seamlessly connect Text In Church to automate guest follow-up, keep people data organized, and communicate more personally across every ministry area.

This new Elvanto church management integration makes it easier than ever to sync people, streamline workflows, and help your team stay connected with guests, regular attenders, and volunteers. If your church uses Elvanto to manage its people and Text In Church to communicate with them, this update provides a more unified system that saves time and eliminates manual work.

Why This Elvanto Integration Matters for Your Church

Church leaders need tools that work together—not systems that create more administrative work or allow people to slip through the cracks. When your church management system and communication platform share information seamlessly, your entire ministry becomes more effective.

Text In Church already provides proven strategies for guest engagement, including a complete church guest follow-up plan. With this new Elvanto integration, that system becomes even more consistent because your People data stays clean, organized, and ready for timely communication.

This integration helps your church:

• Keep contact data accurate
  
  
• Trigger automated communication workflows
  
  
• Improve team collaboration
  
  
• Reduce manual data entry
  
  
• Create reliable next-step systems
  
  

How the Elvanto Church Management Integration Works

The new integration creates a secure connection between Elvanto and Text In Church, allowing you to communicate faster and more personally without extra administrative steps.

Below are the key ways this integration strengthens your ministry processes.
