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!
Have you wanted to easily direct your congregation to more information about the upcoming Picnic or how to be baptized at the next Baptism Service? Then our Keyword Texting is the tool for you. For instance, when people text the word BAPTISM to your phone number, our system responds back with an auto-reply that you create. This could be a date, time, location or even a link for them to view even more specific information. If they texted their name with the keyword, it could be used to register their name and cell number for baptism.
Another way to use this tool would be for your attenders to text a prayer request using keyword PRAYER, then the text of the prayer request. They'll receive a message back from you, such as, "Thanks, we'll be praying," or any other text you'd like to say. Or let parishioners text WEATHER to receive an update if church tonight is cancelled due to the snow storm. These are just a few examples of how this robust tool can be used to better communicate and make contact with your church members.
