Nobody gets stuck in a group chat

Personalized communication
You are able to automatically insert the recipient’s real name and personalize your messages, so it doesn’t feel like a generic email or text blast.
Keep your personal number private
By using our iOS and Android Apps, you have the ability to quickly send text messages to your groups, reschedule emails and texts to send at a later date, reply from your mobile phone when people need you the most, and so much more.
The power of a local phone number
When you create a Text In Church® account, you are given a local phone number (or we can port your current number!) to use.
Why a local phone number?
- It’s legal
- They have the best and fastest delivery rates
- Doesn’t feel spammy like a toll-free number
Real people use local phone numbers. And real people want to connect with real people. So we recommend your church communicate with a local phone number.
