New Feature: Enhanced Messaging

Enhanced Messaging gives your church a dedicated toll-free number to send and receive texts and voice messages directly within ChurchTrac—no third-party integrations required.

How Enhanced Messaging Works

After providing basic information about your church, your application will go through the verification process (roughly 2-4 business days). Once verified, your church gets a dedicated toll-free number and full access to:

  • 2-Way SMS: Receive replies and hold conversations.
  • Voice Messaging: Send automated voice alerts to your congregation.
  • Keyword Automation: Use custom messaging keywords to automate replies and sign-ups.

Setting up ChurchTrac Enhanced Messaging

Simple, Transparent Pricing

Enhanced Messaging starts at $7/month, and includes a dedicated number with 250 messaging credits.

1 SMS recipient = 1 Messaging Credit.

1 Voice recipient = 2 Messaging Credits.

Example: Sending a text to 75 people uses 75 credits. A voice message sent to 50 people uses 100 credits.

Need more message more? You can purchase an additional block of 250 credits for $7. These credits also roll over for up to 120 days.

More Features Coming Soon

In the coming months, we’re launching exclusive messaging features to help you connect even deeper with your community. These features will go beyond SMS and voice.
