What church leaders like you have to say…

We traded out our previous Plan A Visit form for Text In Church’s digital connect card. Amazing! Our guests using this system automatically get a text from me asking which service they would like to plan to visit, a detailed email from me, and then a text telling them Ican't wait to see them. 67% of guest families that go through this process are taking next steps and becoming regular attenders.

Josh Johnson

What church leaders like you have to say…

So far, Text In Church helped us retain 50% of our first-time guests that actually filled out ourconnect cards. The personal text messages help our guests feel wanted, valued and appreciated. There is no way one person could keep up with multiple guests for six weeks. But with this app, it’s possible to not let one person fall thru the cracks.

Because of Text In Church, we can CARE for our people, and the greatest example of this iswhen we text and simply ask if there is anything we can pray with them about, the response is so huge!! Over and over people have commented how they love that we take time for them and they are connected to us.
