In today’s fast-paced world, many church members feel disconnected, missing messages, falling out of touch,
or struggling to stay involved. EZ Texting helps bridge that gap.

Reach members in real time with reminders, words of encouragement, and invitations to serve or gather.
No one feels overlooked, and every person feels seen, valued, and part of something greater.

When people feel connected, they show up more, give more, and grow deeper in faith.

How Churches Use EZ Texting

  • First-Time Guest Follow-Up (same day)

    Turn visitors into second-time guests with a simple keyword or QR code that kicks off an automated nurture and prompts a timely, personal reply from your team. Track clicks and responses to know who’s ready for a next step.

  • Volunteers: Fill Teams & Reduce No-Shows

    Recruit faster with targeted invites by ministry or campus, then collect quick confirmations and send reminder nudges before call times. See who’s in, who’s out, and backfill roles without endless emails.

  • Prayer & Care Line (always-on)

    Offer an always-open line for prayer and care so people can reach you when it matters most. Requests route to the right leader, who can reply personally and keep the conversation going.

  • Giving & Stewardship

    Encourage consistent tithes and offerings with timely, transparent prompts that link to your giving page. Schedule gentle nudges after services, then send thank-yous and impact updates that build trust and momentum.

“EZ Texting is an excellent app! We are a senior church and were looking for a way to send out group texts to our members to remind them of our services and special events etc. This app was so easy to set up and use. This app is also very affordable for our small community church! Our Church is so blessed to have this app.”

“Text message campaigns - not stressed message campaigns! I utilize EZ Texting to send out daily Bible verses to a network of current and former youth and youth workers. The ease of use of EZ Texting allows me to focus on the content I send, and not the process I use. The cost of EZ Texting makes this part of my ministry very cost effective.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Churches can send mass text messaging through a bulk SMS platform like EZ Texting. Just sign up and upload your contacts to your account or sync your contacts from an email service provider like Mailchimp or Constant Contact. But remember, faith-based communicators need to ensure that recipients have opted in to receive text messages. Get members to subscribe using a text marketing Keyword and incentive, like “Text SUNDAY to 858585 to get weekly church service reminders.” Plus, add a text messaging Sign-Up Form to your website and a shareable sign-up link to all social media profiles.

 

 

When selecting a church texting service, ensure that the platform allows you to send mass text messages as well as initiate direct, 1:1 messaging with contacts. Also, the best SMS software should let you create preset, automated church marketing campaigns, like meeting or appointment reminders, or a drip campaign with weekly educational messages that help your ministry stay top of mind. An important way to increase attendance at your church, temple, or mosque is to leverage marketing features like Keyword campaigns, Sign-Up Forms, and scannable QR code generators to get the word out about your texting program.

 

 

A text messaging service like EZ Texting can help reduce no-shows and increase church meeting attendance by setting up automated reminder messages before meetings, holy days, and special events. For example, if you have a weekly or monthly church meeting, use an SMS software platform to create a recurring message sent at a regular cadence a day or two before the meeting. The text message reminder can also ask recipients to reply to confirm their attendance so that your team can follow up via SMS.

 

 

Whether sending weekly church service reminder messages or another kind of religious SMS communication, there are a variety of software platforms to evaluate for your needs. EZ Texting remains a top-rated church texting solution because it is a web-based tool that is simple to learn and implement, has flexible payment options, and offers a mobile app so that you can respond to your contacts on the go. In addition, EZ Texting lets you send mass text messaging directly from your phone’s texting app so that you don’t even have to log in to your account. Another feature that makes EZ Texting a “killer app” for all of your church’s texting solutions is the ability to text-enable a landline or toll-free number. With a textable landline, you can receive and reply to text messages using the church’s published, public number.
