Customer Reviews

For the last several years my office used another service for our web site. To me it was always clunky and less than fun to work with. For several months I had looked at several options for changing service but always was disappointed with the pricing or user interface. I recently received an email from Mark at Online Church Solutions. On a whim I clicked on the link. Boy, I'm glad I did!

Need to cancel a worship service due to bad weather? Want to send a reminder to the musicians about tomorrow's practice session? This tool allows our US clients to create multiple groups (i.e. Small Group Leaders, Members, etc.) and send text messages* from within your Online Church Solutions account to their cell phones, up to 400 characters each. We now offer MMS texting of images, too.

Easy signup form included for text message groups so members can sign up right from your website, meaning you don't have to manually add people to text message groups. Members may also text you to be added to your SMS list.

For those texting within the United States, this robust tool with the functionality detailed below is already included in your Annual Online Church Solutions Price. Account required with either Twilio or Plivo using their pay-as-you-go rates (each company's prices are subject to change). Either work with our service, we do not upcharge your rates (you pay directly to Twilio or Plivo), and there are no minimums.

We also offer Keyword Texting and Voice Broadcasting.

Unlimited Groups

Create unlimited groups, including Musicians, Small Group Leaders, Deacons, etc. Want to send to everyone but you have some people in more than one group and you don’t want them to receive the same text multiple times? Not a problem, select all the groups and when you send, our software will automatically remove any duplicates before sending.

Mobile Web App for Group Texting

You don’t need to be at your computer to send a text message. Our mobile web app allows you to stay logged in, quickly choose groups, and send a text message.

Connected to Membership Database

With our text messaging software connected to our Membership Database, you can have lists created based on zip code, groups, skills, age, gender, even by birthday month. Select the parameters you are looking for, preview the list generated, and then quickly send a text message.

*Your text recipients may still be charged by their cell phone carrier to receive your texts, depending on their cell plan. For this reason, it's important that you get your recipients' permission before sending texts.
