Pros Text in church has been a great solution at a reasonable price for us when we were looking for a new phone system. We are able to provide phone access to multiple staff members and volunteers through their system, and their customer service team is always very responsive when we have issues. They provide us with multiple voice mail boxes and the ability to communicate with our clients and volunteers via text very easily. Cons There was a steep learning curve as our staff and volunteers have learned how to navigate the Text in Church system. Switched from [Spectrum](https://www.capterra.com/p/170585/Spectrum/) Needed to upgrade our phone system and Text in Church allowed us to move away from being tied to a limited number of land lines. Review Source AE Andi E. Communications Administrator Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Text in Church is great!" June 17, 2026 5.0 It has been an excellent experience! We haven't had a need for customer service because everything has run so smoothly, but they have reached out just to check on how things are going and that's always nice to see from a company. Pros Set up was so easy as it integrates with Church Center. It's easy to navigate and send/schedule messages to our entire congregation or small groups easily. Cons Uploading files to send is a little "clunky" as you can only upload one file at a time and then only attach one file at a time to emails. Switched from [CallingPost](https://www.capterra.com/p/196048/CallingPost/) With Calling Post we did have unlimited texting but it wasn't as easy to use and it didn't integrate with Church Center so we were having to put information in multiple place. Review Source DF David F. Lead Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We all need connection" August 12, 2026 5.0 I have nothing to complain about. We used them at my previous church and when we launched three years ago we started with them here. The organization has done a great job to seamlessly connect with other platforms like planning center. Pros Our church is three years old and so trying to stay in contact with people and building community has been critical. We send a weekly text message to the church to check-in and ask how we can pray for them. Our other ministries from Abortion recovery to students, groups, or family ministry use it to connect with different individuals and because of the price we have purchased 3 different phone numbers and we don't have to worry about private information getting into the wrong hands. At one point we went over our messages and their team worked with us to bless our church and blessed us with a few more messages for free. Cons It not about Text in Church but with people. We are so skeptical of different things and I personally don't like giving out all of my information. So getting guest to fill out forms, or our food pantry is almost impossible. Text is church has created a simple and easy to use platform we have to sale the reason why its important to be in community. Review Source AS Andrea S. Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "There are better options than Text In Church. " January 1, 2025 2.0 Mediocre at best. It seems like people either really love it or really hate it. We found it expensive and cumbersome. GLOO is a much better platform and way more economical. Pros The ability to communicate with people quickly. Cons The texts were not reliable. Often we would schedule them and they'd either not go or be sent at the wrong time (was not operator error). Also, their pricing was extremely high compared to the competition. Review Source BK Brooke K. Co-Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Text in church is fabulous! " April 15, 2026 5.0 It’s been wonderful. We love text in church - tools that help us do the heavy lifting so we can focus on the mission and people! Pros Great value for the money. It helps us be proactive with new guests by getting info and messages out so quickly. The responsiveness of the platform is stellar. Cons We need to build in some personal elements in the middle of the workflow to stay connected. We would love to be able to add our name or church name as the number so people don’t think it’s a spam call or text. We are considering addressing ourselves in the message so at least it’s possible iPhones would recognize and list it as us. Switched from [Clearstream](https://www.capterra.com/p/158103/Clearstream/) Clearstream didn’t have a great scheduled workflow Review Source Robin R. Event DIrector Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Text in Church is a HAVE TO HAVE Tool! " April 15, 2026 5.0 This is an excellent tool for churches for many reasons. 1. You can use it to communciate with people wanting to know more about Jesus in a “Text Yes” Campagin. 2. It’s a great want to communicate things to your congregation. If there is emergency or unexpected close (we had snow in North Carolina) 3. Communicate with your volunteers with reminders. Pros The flexibility for several Ministries to use this software. We have several teams…..Groups, General Congregation, Guest Services & Events. This way, we can all manage our messages more effectively and efficiently. We started using in on Sundays for people to text YES when we ask if they’d like to labor more about Jesus. This give us at least a starting point with new believers and people that are interested. For my volunteer team on Events, I use text in church to tell them there is an important email that they need to look for.WIth all the emails these days, many just miss important emails. Telling folks that an important email just went out about volunteering ad one of our 3 campuses is an effective what to get great sign ups. Cons The only drawback, is people thinking it’s someone’s personal phone number and they send some personal information. Review Source JE Joel E. Senior Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Text In Church Is Fantastic" July 20, 2026 5.0 Phenomenal. It has been a lifesaver in helping us make fast contact with first time and second time visitors. It is also a great way to communication to the entire church family in many different ways. Pros Text In Church is a game changer when it comes to communicating with visitors and the whole church. It is like having another full time staff member on board. Their customer service team is responsive and has fast solutions to any communication problem. Cons There is nothing that I dislike about Text In Church. It has many different layers of applications to church communication. It's deep and we are learning how to leverage it in an even greater capacity. Review Source PR Paula R. Connections Coordinator Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Still a lot to learn." August 18, 2026 4.0 I feel like I still have a lot to learn. I could have used it as much as I could. I learned how to send a mass text out. I know that there is a way to set it. I don't have to send one out every other week. Pros I like that it is easy to use. The customer support is very helpful. If you get stuck. I reached out once; the person walked me through the process over the phone and sent a video in the chat. Cons hard to link to or edit QR codes once they have been created. Example: We have a QR code on our Connect card that should send you a link to a digital Connect card, but the QR code was made a few years ago. We have not been able to edit it. Review Source CM Chris M. Connections Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Text in church is awesome" August 26, 2026 5.0 Fantastic and will recommend to others. Our staff is very pleased and the price is very reasonable. Don't hesitate! Pros Text in church is life changing. Once it is set up, it is efficient and so much time is saved!! It is used for all our volunteers and in a variety of ministries. Cons I have not found anything yet. I am hoping it stays efficient and we can continue using it as we move forward. Review Source GH Garrett H. Young Adults Pastor Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Loved the Product" August 10, 2026 4.0 Been using for several years. Enjoyed the service for what it is. Has capabilities that I haven't utilized to the max as of yet. Pros It is great for connecting with the younger generation in a meaningful way without spamming people. Many people want to be updated and included but not lumped into a giant group text where they become spammed by responses. This product has helped greatly with this! Cons As of this moment I don't have many cons. I have had some issues with connectivity with third party services while using but that could be based on the other companies side not TIC. The processes help create meaningful connection without becoming overwhelming. Review Source TS Travis S. Communications Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to Use Automations" June 5, 2025 4.0 Overall, Text in Church is a reliable, mostly user-friendly texting tool for churches. From scheduling texts to managing groups, there are many great options. Pros I appreciated the ability to connect with Planning Center People Lists and schedule texts and workflows. Cons I didn't prefer the interface, and, until recently, it didn't function as a full integration within Planning Center. Review Source MC Marcy C. Communications Assistant Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great texting tool for churches and ministries" April 7, 2025 5.0 Overall it has been a very positive experience with a good platform and good customer service. Pros It's really helps us stay connected to our church members in an easy to use familiar format. Cons There was a bit of a learning curve with it, but they did give us helpful documents and videos. Review Source KS Kyle S. Lead Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Text In Church" January 6, 2025 4.0 We experienced a great system that was serving our needs for a period of time but found that we could use another system that was more cost effective for us. Pros Text in Church provides a comprehensive system to follow up with guests and to communicate with members of your church effectively. Cons The cost is not feasible for all churches. Review Source EA Emanuely A. Health Assistant Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Digital Church Community Organisation " September 16, 2022 5.0 Because Church is the body of Christ, let there be discipleship teaching, teaching and sharing word of Truth and Life to reach many as possible, healing of diseases and infirmities, teaching in Church and synagogues as Jesus did, the way that everything seen and done in image of christ, some if not all of these services may be there, but just to improve, otherwise rated high Pros I really like the way follow-up system works, that is how they remind Church members in important timetables and services like praying together, sharing Word of hope, encouragement to one another through trusted text and emails, to build Godly character Cons Improve studying, sharing of word of Christ and prayer that js the key to our great commission in Matthew 28:18-20 Review Source Response from Text In Church September 22, 2022 Thank you for your review, Emanuely! FB Faith B. Community Assistant Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Make Connecting and Following Up EASY!" September 26, 2019 5.0 Text in Church allows us to communicate with hundreds in a quick, efficient, and personal manner. It allows time for other areas of ministry, yet ensures we value our guests with effective follow up. Their customer service is quick, responsive, and compassionate. I can tell that each member of their team genuinely cares about churches and people. Pros Text in Church enables me to communicate with hundreds of people at the same time, in a personal way. This has enabled our church to grow exponentially by being able to connect more effectively. The Plan A Visit features through Text in Church allow guests to be connected and for barriers to be removed before they even enter our parking lot. Cons I wish that they offered multiple lines / user accesses within the same account. I also think that the "app" for mobile use is rather clunky and slow - this is probably the only piece I don't like. I expect that they will improve this soon. Review Source Response from Text In Church September 30, 2019 Faith, thanks for the awesome review! Yes, we will soon offer multiple lines. This will be super helpful. Also, we are currently rebuilding our app and can't wait to release it. AM Angie M. Guest Services Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Communication Tool" October 7, 2019 5.0 Our overall experience with Text in Church has been so positive that several other areas of our organization have also subscribed to Text in Church. Support is exceptional. We have not experienced loss of service or loss of delivery in the texting. All in all I would say the software is valuable, flexible and reliable. Pros Automated responses and keyword texting are our favorite features of Text in Church. The ability to set in motion automated responses is both time saving and provides consistency to our constituents. Keyword texting and the automatic formation of groups within the software is especially valuable with first-time guests and useful when we are interested in building a group for communication within a specific interest or project. Cons Have not found one "con" in almost two years. Review Source Response from Text In Church October 9, 2019 Angie, thanks for the great review! RH Robert H. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Information through texts" February 15, 2023 5.0 Pros Putting out information to a chosen group, individuals, or the mass. Cons It really needs the ability for others to be able to communicate to anyone in their church Alternatives considered [Tithely Church Management](https://www.capterra.com/p/132513/Breeze-ChMS/) Reason for choosing Text In Church Simplier Review Source Response from Text In Church February 17, 2023 Thank you for the review, Robert! We appreciate it! RH Rob H. Lead Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Text In Church.... GAME CHANGER!" June 10, 2021 5.0 Our experience has been fantastic and if you have questions they are quick to get you to the right person to help you. Pros They ability to set up guest follow up so those who are new do not fall through the cracks. It has helped us stay in contact after someone has come and be able to minister after that initial visit. We also like the ability to put a plan a visit on our site so someone we can communicate with them and give them some invite on our church before they come. This helps out with those awkward feelings for new guests. Cons only thing I have is about setting specific dates for txts to go out, which they listen to our feed back and are working on this. Review Source JM Jennifer M. Family Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "HUGE TIME SAVER" March 19, 2021 5.0 Overall Text in Church has drastically improved our ability to keep in contact with our teams and congregants! It is so easy for them to join a group and keep in contact with us! Pros I LOVE LOVE LOVE the ability to schedule text messages or emails! It makes keeping up with my team easy and communication with the entire church a breeze! honestly, I'm forgetful most days and will remember to send someone a message at 10pm and that's not appropriate so I love that I can type it out and schedule it to send at a more appropriate time! I also LOVE the groups! you don't have to go in and select each person each time hoping you don't forget anyone! you can just click the group you want, one click! easy peasy! Cons My only complaint would be that sometimes I get logged out randomly, I'm sure it is for security reasons, but I don't realize I'm logged out until I need to use and have to log back in. Review Source RH Rick H. Connections Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER IN GUEST FOLLOW-UP!" September 17, 2020 5.0 Pros It is clear that TIC thought through just about everything that is relevant to excellent guest follow-up. Automated workflows allow detailed communication with people. Converts manual labor into ministry labor (free to actually be with people more) Workflows can be completely customized Ability to schedule communication beforehand Planning Center compatibility Cons Inability to use short code when choosing sending number Alternatives considered [Textedly](https://www.capterra.com/p/150912/Textedly/)[Textmagic](https://www.capterra.com/p/147342/TextMagic/) Reason for choosing Text In Church TIC is geared towards churches Review Source MP Molly P. Google Grant Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We love Text In Church!" May 20, 2021 5.0 Fantastic overall experience. The Text In Church team is super helpful, encouraging, and makes it easy for us. Pros Text in Church makes it extremely easy to communicate with our customers in a relational way. We have the option to continue conversations and make it personal. It's easy to add new contacts or allow people to join our communication. Cons Can't think of any cons - the team is amazing at implementing suggestions, so when we have ideas for new features they work with us! Review Source MM Michelle M. Assimilations Coordinator Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Text In Church for First Time Guests" September 26, 2019 4.0 Pros Currently our Plan Your Visit guests are able to sign up for service and get a response immediately as well as multiple staff getting notifications that a new guest has signed up. Cons App software needs to be updated allowing the user to have access to the same features as a desktop. We also wished that guests can input their birthdays as well as choosing what service time they plan on attending. Reason for choosing Text In Church cost and the ability to customize the features suitable to our needs Review Source Response from Text In Church September 30, 2019 Thanks, Michelle! I really appreciate the review. We are currently rebuilding the mobile app and can't wait for you to have access to it. DS Deb S. Off Mgr Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Incredibly Frustrating!!!!!" June 15, 2018 2.0 Pros we like the ability to text members. While beneficial, its not if we have to pay double the price Cons For us, their support is poorly lacking. Back in February, they double billed our credit cards for an annual fee, and now, 4 months later, after a dozen emails, and even more calls to our bank, this company tells me it may take another month before they can figure out how to issue us a credit for hundreds of dollars. My bank today called them an untrustworthy vendor. I've had it with this company!! Buyer Beware!! Review Source Response from Text In Church June 27, 2018 Hi Deb, Thanks for the honest review. I'm really sorry for your frustrating experience. This was a very unusual circumstance though. Rather than requesting a refund you marked the charge as fraudulent. This initiated a review by your bank and your payment was immediately withdrawn from our account. Unfortunately, we were not able to refund your charge until your bank completed it's review. Once the review as completed in our favor your bank returned the funds to Text In Church and we issued your refund within 3 hours. Again, I'm so sorry this was so frustrating. I know we were in contact throughout this whole process, but I'm really sorry I wasn't able to get any details about the process from your bank. This should have been a really simple refund. I am so sorry the review process was so frustrating.

Cons It's not integrated with other software, but if all you need is a text platform, this will work. Review Source Response from Text In Church September 19, 2019 Hi there, thanks so much for the review. What software are you wanting to integrate with? Text In Church currently integrates with Planning Center, CCB, and Mailchimp. And, others are in progress.

April 12, 2018 5.0 It has helped to make some of our operations run smoother.n Pros This works so much better for us than our traditional method of communication, I would highly recommend any church/ organization use this. Cons I really can't find any cons about it, it works wonders for us and I'm sure it will work wonders for others. Review Source Response from Text In Church April 13, 2018 Wow!
