Multinumbers
PastorsLine offers you the option to add unlimited numbers for every purpose...and as many of them as your church needs. Think guests services, group leaders, pastoral or kids ministry—all with unique or shared numbers to help end Inbox madness.

Our multinumbers feature lets you

-
Choose the quantity of numbers you need based on the size and scope of your church. Smaller ministry? One mobile number for both text and voice might be sufficient. Sending out large numbers of bulk texts simultaneously? Use several numbers, so you don't get flagged by the carriers for ‘spamming’. International numbers give churches with a global reach a more local feel for members abroad.
-
Mix and match different types of numbers according to your church’s needs. PastorsLine offers:
- local, 10-digit numbers which we host for you (aka virtual tendered numbers)
- a shared short code - the power of short codes without the expense
- hosting for your church landline number - find out more here
-
Give staff access only to the numbers they need for greater efficiency and security—especially important when using our multiuser and/or multicampus feature(s). For example, ministries with many staff members can have a number for each team or leader.
-
Keep track of all your numbers. The PastorsLine Numbers Summary screen displays all of your unique PastorsLine numbers at a glance. We haven’t lost one yet! Also, you can filter your PastorsLine Inbox(es) by number—receive only the conversations relevant to staff using that number. Our system even allows you to create nicknames when using multiple numbers to help you remember who’s who.
-
Manage your contact numbers more precisely. PastorsLine has features such as...checking your imported numbers to classify whether they are landlines, VOIP (like Google numbers or another PastorsLine number) or mobile, so you won’t be charged unnecessarily; and blocking, unsubscribing and deleting contacts.
-
Make use of our multinumber and multiuser features, too.

Local, 10-digit numbers
A 10-digit, long code, local number is a regular phone number, usually costing a few dollars/month.
Short code
A short code is a five-digit, leased number. A short code usually costs $12-$20,000/year. So, PastorsLine decided to buy a short code and share the costs by having clients “sublease” the use.
Host your church landline
Features such as automatic voicemail/call forwarding and (in most cases) text-enabling your landline, create a one-number communications HUB.

PRO TIP: Team Structure
As you decide on how to set up your team and number(s) on PastorsLine, you might want to consider the following: How will the number be used? Will it be used as a “personal” number that is meant for engagement? E.g. Your guest follow-up number should solely be used by your “connections pastor/lead”. Or perhaps, you plan on using PastorsLine for your ministry or small groups as a way to mostly share information. In either case, the main purpose is different, and you would want to separate these uses by using different numbers.
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.
