Using a Text Messaging Service for Communication With Your Congregation
Text messaging is the perfect way for your church to communicate with your congregation.
Churches have so many ways to communicate with their congregation. Church communications can happen through email, social media, snail-mail, and texting. Every congregation is different, but text message communication has many benefits over the others.
Texting Is Inexpensive
Everyone has a cell phone these days and getting a text is a common occurrence. It costs money to send mailings and creating an email newsletter takes time and money as well. Switch to texting for your communication needs.
Send Texts From Anywhere, Any Time
Everyone carries their cell phone, so sending a group text is a piece of cake. If you learn that a service or event is cancelled and you’re out of town, no problem. You can send out a text from your phone and everyone receives it.
Schedule Your Text Messages
Pastors and church volunteers don’t have the time to keep track of mailers and phone calls, so auto-messages save them time.
Auto Replies Makes Response Easy
Auto replies are perfect for you because you don’t need to think something up on the fly. It’s also a confirmation to the subscriber that they did everything correctly.
Text Messaging is the Right Choice
Of all the methods of church communications, text messaging is the least expensive and reaches the most people quickly. Keep your congregation up to date on church happenings and they’ll be happier for it.
