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 I can't wait to see them. 67% of guest families that go through this process are taking next steps and becoming regular attenders.

Josh Johnson

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.
