My friend told me about your [PastorsLine] platform and I had a chance to see it in action firsthand...so I thought I'd give it a try. I think I signed up for a couple of different reasons. One, the price seems reasonable. Two, the automation is super helpful. Three, we are church-based with limited physical and financial resources so at least at the moment this helps us maximize those precious resources.

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. 

The [PastorsLine] video attachment works very well, and we will be using it more in the future. The reception has been positive from my boss and the recipients.

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.

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.

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.

Before, syncing a PCO list to a PastorsLine group was unwieldy and slow. I usually got stuck because I missed a step. With the new PL PCO Firefox extension, I believe the whole staff will love it.

[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... 

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.

“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.”

...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.

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.

The PastorsLine Real Video Attachment is an amazing and effective service.

I can't tell you how much PastorsLine has helped me and the ministry in our church. I use it every day, and it is a tool I can't live without. God bless you and your ministry.

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.

I am loving the new [PastorsLine Chrome] extension. I have sent a couple of messages directly from the Planning Center (PC) page. This has made my life SO much easier. The most valuable feature is working directly from PC.

It’s nice that the PastorsLine Real Video Attachment is native and not a link to go watch somewhere else.

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!

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!

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

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 🙂

The PastorsLine Real Video Attachment worked well. It was sent to a group. As a communication method, it seems to be working well for us.

I have used the PastorsLine Chrome extension and encouraged most of the staff to do so also. It has been a great experience so far. The most valuable feature of the Chrome extension is ease of use.

After resizing, the PastorsLine Real Video Attachment was great. It was well received. No complaints from any recipients.God Bless!

It’s honestly the best feature that we have utilized. Being able to give one phone number for voice and text simplified our process.

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.

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.

Yes, I’ve used the [PastorsLine Chrome] extension and I really loved it!

I think those are your two biggest selling points - Free Trial and cheaper prices.

Everything worked well [with the PastorsLine Real Video Attachment]. Easy to use and I haven’t heard of anyone not getting it or not being able to watch it.

The PastorsLine Real Video Attachment worked perfectly.

Everyone loved the video message. It was very easy to [use PastorsLine to] record on mobile and send, which makes it extremely convenient. I wish the length could be longer. At least 30-60 seconds. But we made it work!

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