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.
