Reviews over Text In Church

Capable Solution with a Steep Learning Curve
Opmerkingen: Text In Church is a great way for us to stay in contact with people who sign up. We still use email but, the click through rate on links is way higher.
Pluspunten:
For the price, I don't think you can do any better than Text In Church. Their base package is plenty for what we need in a church that has 150 weekly attenders. We have the ability to create custom text groups and automated workflows. On top of that, it's there's a pretty good CRM powering it all.
Minpunten:
The one challenge to Text In Church is the learning curve. Some features have a confusing user experience. Fortunately, their solution feels lightweight and it's easy to play around until you figure it out.

Thanks for the great review Keegan!
Can't Do Without It
Pluspunten:
Text in Church and Talk in Church are the backbone of my communications systems
Minpunten:
The pay structure in relation to the features I do and do not use makes it so that I pay a lot for the few services I use, but then have to pay more if I want to use the features I do use to their full capacity.
There are better options than Text In Church.
Opmerkingen: 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.
Pluspunten:
The ability to communicate with people quickly.
Minpunten:
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.
Text in Church is Good for Churches, Big or Small
Opmerkingen: Overall had a great experience with Text in Church. Very pleased with the product.
Pluspunten:
How easy it is to use and how I was able to create a QR code and now visitors can scan and enter their info instead of using paper cards. Complete Time Saver
Minpunten:
The size of the packages and the need to always buy extra minutes.

GAME CHANGER!
Opmerkingen: IT's a Game Changer! It's been a wonderful tool that I am expanding every day. It makes my job so much easier! Would HIGHLY recommend it!
Pluspunten:
Automated workflows, ability to text or send and email, ability to personalize it. I love that it integrates with the main database I use for our church. I love that I can schedule things things to go out and not have to worry about it again. I love that I can communicate with groups of people but there is individual and personal interaction. I love that you can see who opted out of further messages and am able to update my main database. Customer service and articles are amazing!
Minpunten:
Just a few things I would change....the ability snooze a person within a group when they aren't available that month but may be in the future. I would like to be able to print a report of people that opt out of texts so that I can update my main database. I would like to set a sync time. I would like separate inboxes for different phone numbers. Right now, everything goes to the same inbox
A necessity for church communication!
Opmerkingen: We use TIC to help people sign up for small groups, go through our discipleship program, sign up for baptism, and more. Their customer service is out of this world. We have had such a great experience with TIC!
Pluspunten:
It is simple to use as a tool to communicate with our congregation. Once you load all your people and numbers into TIC, you can put them into groups and categories to message for different reasons and events. It makes it so simple to message back and forth with them too. Not just send out a message but to have a conversation.
Minpunten:
Sometimes it’s difficult when people change their cell numbers and we don’t know so then we continue messaging a new stranger ☺️ I think it can sometimes be confusing when TIC has to use different numbers to ensure the message sends out. It’s confusing to our members seeing different numbers they don’t recognize. Neither of these are TIC issues though.

TIC is a MUST!
Opmerkingen: Experience has been top notch! Any issue that I had the technical support was right there to help out and fix the issue. They are very personal and there is a name and face behind the voices (text messages). :)
Pluspunten:
Using TIC is such a simple process. Very easy learning curve. Saves us time and energy when communicating with our church. Instead of making hundreds of phone calls to get information out we can easily connect with everyone with the click of the mouse.
Minpunten:
The app is a little sketchy at times. It will say I have a ton of unread notifications when they were all read. Other than that it is a great product!

Hi James! Thanks for the great review. I really appreciate you sharing your experience. Sorry for the confusion with the notifications. Since your inbox is shared amongst your admins, the app notifications are for unactioned messages NOT unread messages. You can simply mark them actioned or reply to remove the notification. Again, thanks for the awesome feedback!

Text In Church
Opmerkingen: 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.
Pluspunten:
Text in Church provides a comprehensive system to follow up with guests and to communicate with members of your church effectively.
Minpunten:
The cost is not feasible for all churches.
Text in Church for families
Pluspunten:
Lovely product, easy to use and installation had no issues. Easy to communicate and my daughter could use it easily.
Minpunten:
Sometimes it can be slow after the updates

Game Changer
Opmerkingen: This software has been a game changer for our guest follow-up! I am very good at ideas and implementation... not so much maintaining long term... so to have an automated system that feels personal has been amazing!!
Pluspunten:
I love how easy this software is to use and customize. It is also automatic, so once you have it set up it runs everything so smoothly.
Minpunten:
I don't always get notifications to my phone... but it hasn't hindered the effectiveness, just my response time.

Natalee - This made our day! THANK YOU for taking the time to leave this amazing review. We appreciate it and we are so happy Text In Church has been a game changer for your guest follow-up!
Text in Church Has Quality Church Member and Guest Outreach Tools...
Opmerkingen: We have improved our communication to our members with Text in Church. Also, for the first time, guests have a way of hearing from us after they've visited. Members feel more involved and in the loop than ever before.
Pluspunten:
I like the ability to text hundreds of people instantly. The groups function is an easy-to-use tool. The ability for people to opt themselves out of communication is also important. Church members feel updated any time they receive an email or text.
Minpunten:
I don't like that they charge us per text. Many times I want to send messages over 160 characters to our church members, but am forced to limit the message to conserve the number of texts I use per month. I also think some of their formatting and setup of certain templates is clunky and not user-friendly.

Jeff, thanks for the great review. I wanted to let you know that we charge per text message sent regardless of the number of characters. So, even if you exceed 160 characters it still counts as just one. Also, incoming messages do not count against your allotment.
A must-have for churches of ANY size!
Opmerkingen: TIC is a must have for churches of any size. Makes it so quick and easy to stay in contact with members and helps create a simple, streamlined way to connect with visitors.
Pluspunten:
I love Text in Church for many reasons but specifically its simplicity to set up and use
Minpunten:
The only thing I'd like to see improved is the # of characters allowed for a text to be sent in one message but I'm not sure TIC has any control over that.

A simple relevant answer to GROWTH!
Opmerkingen: Text in Church is the answer to so many How questions. How do re raise our retention rate? How do we close the back door to our organization? How do we value people; and so many more...The answer is Text in Church.
Pluspunten:
I love the Text in church system! I like this system for so many reasons some including it's ease of use and it's ability to help us automate our assimilation system. The workflows help us keep in touch with our guests and members while at the same time creating an authentic sense of community amongst our spiritual family. I have learned that Culture is by Default of Design and text in church helps you design your culture rather than the alternative of what it would default to.
Minpunten:
I would love the ability to know the average amount of text that we send out a month. Knowing that information would allow us to measure it and utilize our resources best or know when we are not using it the best.

Charles, thanks for the awesome review!
Text In Church is by far the Best!!!
Opmerkingen: We were looking for a way to automate our guest follow-up for our church. I was spending hours texting and emailing people that visit our church. Text In Church has literally added at least a day to my ministry per week.
Pluspunten:
I loved how easy it was to set up and to get started. With the free trial it really was a no brainer. Text In Church has truly been a ministry partner to our church. Nothing but praise here.
Minpunten:
Really the only issues that has arisen have been minor ones. Text In Church's Customer Support has taken care of the problems very quickly.

If the church couldn't afford this program, I'd pay it myself!
Opmerkingen: Instant & easy communication with small and large groups.
Pluspunten:
I love being able to communicate quickly with the entire church or with selected groups in a moment via text messaging! Also, they can communicate back via text through the TIC Messenger App. They also help create a guest follow-up system!
Minpunten:
We have had trouble getting our digital connect card form to work correctly at times. However, we can go into the program and collect the data when this happens.
Must Have!
Opmerkingen: It’s been fun to understand. Worth having and very useful to our ministry.
Pluspunten:
The software has a very clean and professional look. Defiantly proud of using it. Very helpful in communicate with the body of Christ.
Minpunten:
What I least liked about it, is that I can’t set a specific date and time for my emails or text messages to be sent for individuals already in the system for automatic responses at a certain time frame.

Text In Church User Review
Opmerkingen: Text in Church has helped us stay in touch with our guests much better and follow up much longer. It has led to more interactions and return visits from guests.
Pluspunten:
It is easy to use, quick to set up and lets us focus on relationships rather than administration.
Minpunten:
Nothing really. If there is anything to complain about it that the software does not notify you via text/email of interaction. You must be in the software/app to get notifications.

Great texting system for responding to groups of people
Pluspunten:
This is a great texting system to use when you need communication with a small group of people, we use this mostly for our student ministry.
Minpunten:
I wish this system would integrate more with different software. We switched from using this software because it was limited to integrations.
