Hear what Lupé Lopez (Anna First Baptist Church) + 4 others said about PastorsLine’s Real Video Texting

By Anne Heath | November 29, 2023

The PastorsLine Real Video Attachment (RVA) feature allows pastors and church leaders to send live video messages directly to their congregations’ devices. These real-time, authentic videos provide more personal communication than pre-recorded content. Key benefits include real-time engagement with viewers, raw and unfiltered speaking from the heart, and immediacy for urgent matters.

User feedback indicates the feature works excellently – videos attach natively, the interface is easy, and church members respond positively. In summary, the PL RVA live video capability enables more authentic church-member communication to build community and share Christ’s message of hope. It is an indispensable tool for today’s church leaders looking to foster greater engagement through transparency and vulnerability.

Last minute changes: Do your people know?

By Anne Heath | October 13, 2022

How fast do your people receive your emergency cancellations and time-sensitive announcements? Too late to make a difference? For example: Your people show up to an event because they did not know it was cancelled. Or they arrive at 9 am to something that was rescheduled to 11 am – again, because they didn’t know.  Situations like these are very frustrating for your ministry members. The PastorsLine church text messaging platform can help – especially for churches using one of our integrations (such as Planning Center Online).

Solving the “I never heard about that” Communication Gap

By Anne Heath | February 15, 2020

You know you said it about what feels like a million times. You made announcements from the pulpit, sent out church bulletins, spoke to people personally…and yet, your congregants repeatedly tell you: “I never heard about that.” Take heart because there is light at the end of this tunnel as you will see in this…

Perrysburg First United Methodist Church is “here to serve, not to be served”. They serve a long list of local, national and international missions that support adults, youth, and children. Successfully running all these important missions depends on communication: people need to know what’s on offer as well as where to be, what to do,…

By Anne Heath | April 19, 2019

Even though they have four campuses in central Ohio and minister to 3,600 people over 10 weekly services, Grace Fellowship understands that their front doors need to be seeing new faces continuously. I had the pleasure of speaking with Ronee De Leon, Administrator of both the Local Impact and Guest Services departments at Grace Fellowship…

Case study: Sarah Poindexter and Leona Njoku-Obi, The Bay Church

By Anne Heath | February 8, 2019

Our team at PastorsLine recommends an ‘AND’ instead of an ‘OR’ strategy. In other words, a combination of communication tools which fit your church culture. Let’s look at an AND strategy in action. A short while ago, I spoke with Sarah Poindexter and Leona Njoku-Obi of The Bay Church (formerly Calvary Temple Church) in Bay…

Case study: Kristen Waddle, Nebo Crossing Church

The limited resources of many churches mean each ‘asset’ should multitask as much as possible. Communication apps are no exception. I recently had a chance to speak with Kristen Waddle, Communications and Production Director of Nebo Crossing Church in Nebo, North Carolina (formerly Eastside Baptist) about their experiences with PastorsLine. In other words, “Automated, Streamlined…
