Built in, not bolted on

Automation and reliability your team doesn't have to think about

These features run in the background so your staff can focus on ministry, not tooling.

Automated follow-up sequences

When someone texts a keyword, they don't just get one reply. Set up multi-step follow-up messages that send over days — automatically.

D0

Instant auto-reply with form link

D2

Check-in: "Did you fill out the form?"

D7

"We'd love to see you Sunday"

Presenter mode & live Q&A

Project live poll results and Q&A on screen during services. Audience submits questions and upvotes from their phones. Staff moderate in real time.

Guided setup & SMS safety net

Public list opt-in pages

Every list gets a shareable signup page. Drop the link in a bulletin, social post, or QR code and people subscribe themselves — name, phone, and email captured directly into your contact list.

Trusted by church teams across Canada and the US

We set up three keywords and a prayer form in one afternoon. Our volunteers had it running by Sunday.

The live polling during our youth nights has been a game changer. Kids actually engage now.

Use case

Send weekly updates to the right lists

with Lists + Broadcasts

Your team prepares one weekly reminder and targets volunteers plus parents. The Ministry Kit deduplicates recipients, respects opt-ins, and logs delivery in one place.

  • Build contacts list from form + keyword submissions
  • Select one or more lists in Broadcast composer
  • Send now or schedule for later
  • Track status and retries from broadcast runs

Expected result

More consistent communication with less admin work and clearer accountability.

Canadian & USA Numbers

Choose a dedicated Canadian or USA long-code based on your ministry location so members can text from their regular mobile plan.

No complex bundles

Pay for clear utility, not bloated bundles. You get messaging, forms, live tools, rooms, and broadcasts in one subscription.

No tech skills needed

If your team can write a bulletin announcement, they can launch a keyword or form. No specialist required.
