How to Use Text Messaging for Your Ministry

Text messaging has always been an effective way for people to “market” and reach people. This is even true for Churches. Whether there is a pandemic or not, text messaging communication is very effective.

With me today is Jeanette Yates. She is the Communications Manager for Text in Church. She also is co-host to the Church Juice Podcast along with Bryan Haley. It’s a great podcast and Jeannette is a wonderful resources for all church communicators as she is constantly learning and is very active in the Church Communication world.

To help Churches make that a bigger impact with text message communication, Text in Church is giving away 60 days FREE to. Now is the time to experiment and try new ways to stay connected. There are LOTS of ways to do that more than just communicating information. You can use it as a way to:

text in prayer request
ask questions
need help with something around the house
share Bible verse encouragement
share fun moments

The opportunities with texting are endless. That is why the Text in Church off of 60 days for FREE is amazing! Zero, no-cost, zip. If you haven’t been able to pull the trigger yet, now is your chance. Talk to Jeanette or anyone else at Text in Church and they can get you started.

Oh, and for the record, Jeanette did get her shirt from Stan Rodda and XXXIII Apparel.
