Church Text Messaging
Reach your members where they already are, with timely texts for announcements, reminders, and urgent news.
What is church text messaging?
Church text messaging sends short updates straight to members’ phones: event reminders, prayer requests, schedule changes, and weather or emergency notices.
Church Reach Media sets up and runs a texting program for your church, including an opt-in sign-up so people choose to receive your messages.
What’s Included
Here’s what our Text Messaging service includes:
Setup & opt-in sign-up
A simple way for members to join, such as texting a keyword or filling out a short form.
Announcements & reminders
Timely reminders about services, events, and deadlines.
Prayer & care alerts
Share prayer requests and care needs with the people who want to know.
Weather & urgent notices
Get the word out fast when services are canceled or plans change.
Groups & ministry lists
Separate lists for youth parents, choir, volunteers, and other ministries.
Message writing & scheduling
Clear, brief messages written and scheduled for you.
Is This a Good Fit for Your Church?
Church Text Messaging can help if:
- You need to reach people quickly when plans change

Church Text Messaging FAQs
Do people have to sign up to get church texts?
Yes. Group texting requires that people opt in to receive messages, so we set up a simple sign-up and include an easy way to opt out.
How often should a church send text messages?
Sparingly. Texts work best for timely, important updates such as reminders, changes, and prayer needs, so people keep paying attention to them.
Can we text just one group, like youth parents?
Yes. We can set up separate lists for different ministries and groups so each message reaches the right people.
