What church leaders like you have to say…

Text In Church has been a game-changer for communicating with my teams. It’s incredibly easy to use and makes staying connected simple and efficient. I especially love how seamlessly it integrates with our church management system, Planning Center—no need to maintain two separate databases! Everything just works together smoothly. Would 100% recommend to any ministry looking to streamline their communication and stay organized.

The part that sold me was how easy it is to integrate with Planning Center Online. You can build out systems and processes while still adding in personal interaction as well. Can't say enough good things about this tool and about the supportive team Text In Church is!

What church leaders like you have to say…

I've been using Text In Church for over 4 years in my role as our church Office Manager & I can't say enough great things about it! I love how easy it is to use & how well it integrates with Planning Center. One of my favorite features is the Workflows. We also started using Talk in Church last year and it's awesome too—we're able to use our cell phones to make calls from the church phone number. Customer Support is fantastic & any issues we've had have been resolved almost immediately. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could!

What church leaders like you have to say…

They have great customer service! We’ve used Text In Church since I started at our church over 2.5 years ago, and it’s been very helpful. From visitor follow-up to weather closures and weekly reminders, it’s a reliable tool. (Their Planning Center integration is SUPER helpful!) Definitely recommend.
