Software for Church Communication
Reaching your congregation shouldn't require five different tools, three separate logins, and a monthly bill for each. ChurchTrac gives Communication Directors and church leaders everything they need to connect with their people. Everything from text, email, voice messages, and push notifications—all from one platform.
All-In-One Software Built for Church Communication
Trusted by over 13,000 churches worldwide, ChurchTrac is the all-in-one church management platform that puts every communication channel in one place. Whether you're sending a Sunday morning reminder to your whole congregation or a personal follow-up to a first-time guest, ChurchTrac has the tools to reach the right people the right way.
Why Communications Leaders Choose ChurchTrac
Communications Directors and church leaders choose ChurchTrac because it replaces the patchwork of tools most churches rely on with a single, affordable platform.
- Every Channel in One Place — Text, email, push notifications, and voice messaging, all without a separate subscription for each.
- Smart Targeting — Send to your entire database, a specific group, or a single individual — all from the same interface.
- Affordable Messaging Add-On — Unlock text and voice messaging for just $7/month — a fraction of what most standalone texting services charge.
- Connected to Your People Data — Because messaging lives in the same platform as your membership database, your lists are always current.
"We will no longer need third part vendors to push out notifications, and we can contact members by using texting and the Church Connect App." — Cheryl B., General Secretary (Capterra)
The Reality of Church Communication Without the Right Tools
Most churches are piecing together their communication strategy with a combination of Mailchimp, a texting service, Facebook, and whatever app their pastor prefers. It works... until something falls through the cracks.
This results in:
- Paying for multiple tools that don't talk to each other
- Outdated contact lists because membership data lives somewhere else
- No consistent way to reach members across every channel
- Communication that only reaches part of the congregation
- Staff spending more time managing tools than crafting messages
ChMS Features Communications Leaders Need
ChurchTrac gives communications leaders a complete, connected set of tools to reach their congregation on every channel, all without the overhead of managing multiple platforms.
Bulk Messaging — Text, Email, Push & Voice
Send a message to your entire congregation in seconds. ChurchTrac's bulk messaging tools support text messages, emails, push notifications through the Church Connect app, and voice messages, all from the same platform. No switching between tools, no duplicate lists to maintain, no extra monthly fees per channel.
Smart Lists & Targeted Messaging
Not every message is for everyone. ChurchTrac's Smart Lists let you build dynamic, automatically updated segments based on criteria like member status, age group, ministry involvement, attendance patterns, and more. Send a back-to-school message to families with kids, a volunteer reminder to your serving team, or a personal follow-up to a first-time guest — all with precision targeting that keeps your communication relevant.
Individual & Group Messaging
Beyond bulk communication, ChurchTrac lets you send messages to a specific group or a single individual directly from their profile. This means your communications platform doubles as a pastoral follow-up tool — the same place you send Sunday announcements is the same place a staff member can reach out to someone who has been missing for a few weeks.
Church Connect — Your Church App & Website
Church Connect gives your congregation a church app and website that keeps them connected between Sundays. Members can receive push notifications, access the church directory, give online, register for events, and stay engaged with church life — all through a platform that's fully integrated with your ChurchTrac database. No third-party app builder required.
Automated Communication
ChurchTrac's automation tools let you set up recurring or triggered messages so that important communication happens even when no one is manually hitting send. Birthday messages, reminders, and follow-up sequences can all run in the background — keeping your church connected without adding to your team's workload.
ChurchTrac Compared to Other ChMS Tools
Most churches that piece together their communication stack end up paying for Mailchimp, a texting service, and a church app separately — often spending more than they would on a full ChurchTrac subscription. ChurchTrac includes every communication channel in one affordable platform.
