Church Texting - Communication Channel Breakdown
Hey everyone, welcome back to Axio Social! In today’s video, I’m diving into the world of texting as a communication channel for your church. We've come a long way from T9 and Sidekicks, but texting remains a powerful tool that not every church is fully utilizing.
In this video, I break down the pros and cons of using text messaging to connect with your congregation. From the incredible deliverability and high open rates to the simplicity of direct calls to action, texting can be a game-changer for your church's communication strategy. But, there are also some downsides to consider, like limited message space and the need for specialized (often paid) software.
I’ll also share some practical ways you can incorporate texting into your church’s communication strategy—whether it’s using onstage call-to-actions during services, following up with first-time visitors, or sending urgent updates during severe weather.
If there’s something I didn’t cover, or if you’ve found unique ways to use texting at your church, drop a comment below—I’d love to hear from you! Don’t forget to check out the other videos in this series where we explore different communication channels for your church.
