We are PastorsLine, and we love working with new churches and church plants.
Many of our team members are Christians who have served on various church communication and leadership teams and have consulted for and worked with dozens of church leaders. This has given us a unique understanding of the challenges churches face, especially church plants and smaller churches.
The PastorsLine Digital Communication Grant for qualifying Christian church plants can help you multiply your budget, your time, and yourself.
Communication is key to organic church growth.
A few general apps can get you started, but that’s only short-term, just like Zeke found out in his church plant.
What if you could use the #1 form of communication for free?
We know that you know that’s texting, but not from your personal phone. Texting from your personal phone makes one person (most likely you) responsible for everything. We’re talking about a church-focused, bulk texting app—our app, PastorsLine.
First-time guests are one of the keys to growing your ministry.
So how are your ‘return’ percentages? PastorsLine’s unique, digital connect texts mean fewer guests fall through the cracks.
Effective staff communication is one of the basics for success.
The PastorsLine bulk texting app allows you to spread the workload AND keep control by using our levels of user permissions.
We wish your ministry lots of growth.
We will have no problem keeping up because PastorsLine is positioned to scale, and as you grow, we grow with you.
Do you meet our initial requirements for a PastorsLine Digital Communication Grant?
Did you start your church within the last 12 months and/or have fewer than 50 people in weekly attendance?
If so, you could qualify for a PastorsLine Digital Communication Grant, given to qualifying Christian church plants.
Here are more details:
-
We are offering a 6-month, no money down, no obligation, cancel at any time, free account once you have signed up for our Inception Plan at $10/month or $100 annually. (Essentially, we delay billing for 6 months.)

You will need to give your credit card details to show commitment, but you can cancel at any time within those six months, giving you an extended free trial. We know how valuable texting with PastorsLine can be for your church, so we are happy to give you six months to check it out and raise any funds needed to continue.
-

Dozens of churches are already using
PastorsLine and seeing success.
The PastorsLine platform is a church-driven, bulk texting platform developed and managed by church ‘insiders’. We know churches intimately. We’ve attended them, been part of their management teams and worked with them for many years. Our goal is to serve you by helping you spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. We’ve positioned ourselves to be your in-house, IT team for solutions to your communication issues. In addition to everything our platform can do, our partners love our responsiveness to their needs and fast tech support.
It’s honestly the best feature that we have utilized. Being able to give one phone number for voice and text simplified our process.

Thus far it’s worked perfectly!! When we wanna send out a text message we use the church office #.
When somebody calls this #, it just takes them to our office phone where a front desk agent can answer. This is perfect! Far better than our individual cell phones ringing when somebody calls our PastorsLine number. It’s only been a week but it’s working great!

We hired [PastorsLine] to assist us in a new “Small Group” initiative we were launching at our church. The tools they provided us with helped us monitor and take action on hundreds of responses. Our workflow was cut in half and our ability to track, monitor and follow through with the data gathered more than doubled.

Associate Pastor, New Believers
Sending and receiving texts from our landline number is the #1 feature that ensures visitors and members can engage with us on the most relevant means of communication there is right now. Having one number to advertise, simplifies all graphics, ads, announcements, etc. for us, as well as for those we're trying to reach. I use PastorsLine EVERY DAY. It's changing the way we engage with our members - it's both easier and more effective.

The personal and almost immediate assistance at [PastorsLine] is so great! We feel valued and important! We love that it is church-based!!! … Jason and the team at [PastorsLine] are always ready to help, make things better, and they also welcome feedback.

...the guest connection card...We had a great response -- people whose names and contact info we might not have captured otherwise. Our autoresponder directs them to our Welcome Center...where we have a gift...with their name on it.

“Our land line [SMS-enabled by PastorsLine] is more familiar to our congregation. When we texted from the other number, some would inquire about who was sending the text as the number was unfamiliar, and we did not use it frequently, so by the time we sent another text, some had forgotten the number.”
Myrna and Peter Rohdin
New Life Fellowship Church, Elmhurst, NY
For us [a PastorsLine text-enabled church landline] has been huge for people to be able to text the number they already knew for our church. It means they don’t have to remember two different numbers when they are looking to try and get in touch with us. Most people don’t even realize its mostly an automated process.

Connections Pastor, The Exchange
When we finished our evangelistic event in Houston, 70% of those who were baptized, communicated with me through PastorsLine...it had a big influence.

Evangelist, End Time Hope
[PastorsLine is] a huge answer to something we’ve been looking for. I was able to send a template with a field merge by scheduling it...

The text message bible study invites are working great. We saw a huge increase from 5-6 to 10-12 and the numbers stayed consistent.
Zeke Vas
Pastor
PastorsLine has been a fantastic tool which has enhanced communication with out church family. As with any tool, the secret is in learning how to use it effectively. I have been most excited when I see my church members telling their very own unchurched friends to text “PRAY” to our pastorsline number and have them join our prayer sessions.
Paolo Esposito
Pastors, RGF Church
I belong to a Church Communications group on Facebook, and you were highly recommended. We signed up with you over others because we are a multi-generational church and you have an ability to reach people on landlines.
Daniel Chambers
At first, the landline feature seemed like it would overload the church secretary since everyone would have the church phone number saved in their phones. This has not happened! People are simply interacting with our events better than ever before! We love the landline feature.
Sterling Willborn
Associate Pastor, Journey Church
I honestly never realized how many people must have been trying to text our landline all along! We never advertised our landline as a number you could text, but we have gotten multiple members of our congregation and even guests from some of our events to send us texts saying, ‘Thank you for this and that’, and it has been really great to see!

PastorsLine has totally changed not only my workflow, but it's taken our "personal" factor up 10x! Just with our welcome process, we have gone from a 40% READ rate to a 40% CONVERSATION rate. That's just crazy!
So thanks 🙂

Baptism Worship Service Reminders - bulk texting—we were blown away by the number of people who showed up.

By using the same phone number for texting and calling you get people to remember your phone number. When it comes the time that are ready to reach out to us they know the phone number.
