The pastor who recommended it said that the pricing was great, it was simple to use, and it would allow us to reach and interact with our remote viewers during the pandemic.
I was looking for a system that could easily integrate with CCB.
We signed up because the pricing was reasonable and it also connects with our ccb program.
I looked up Textinchurch on Google and discovered PastorsLine. I l... landed on PastorsLine due to the keyword options and the text number we got to choose.
I was looking for a bulk text solution that integrated with CCB - you are listed as one of their preferred partners on their site.
Lots of help available. I especially like the video tutorials. The price point for me was just right. Also the chat and phone help is awesome.
We signed up because the automations were really nice.
i signed up because our small church is going through a prayer campaign where i wanted to text everyone everyday for a while. This made things a lot easier to do , and the price was affordable.
We love how it integrates with Planning Center - which we already were using.
Easy onboarding process. Church Text
I liked the variety of options you offer, the price seemed reasonable and ultimately the free trial allows me to test it with a few key decision makers in the church, so I signed up to give it a try.
I heard about PastorsLine by searching up ten-digit number text options after our shortcode was running out.
We ultimately signed up because Pastors Line had the best features. We liked the integrations with CCB and the short code/land line options.
We googled it I believe. PCO Integration was really important to us, and you guys are the only ones who truly do the two way synching.
Pastors Line has it all. Thank you for creating this for all to use!
I made an inquiry to Breeze about their plans to add that service, they recommended you guys.
Wanted bulk text solution with CCB integration. Liked free trial and user-friendly.
I signed up because I knew I could use our church's phone number and integrate with CCB.
PastorsLine was the most simple I’ve found that had a great price point. We plan to be moving to the paid version soon. Texting seems to be way easier than Clearstream, which we used before.
I signed up for trials as I felt it's a good opportunity to try the service without spending money yet until am satisfied with the service.
I googled “text messaging for churches” and started looking through all the options. PastersLine seemed to fit our need and our Pastor also wanted the voice communication via landline.
We pay for two different services and ultimately will be signing up because it combines two platforms into one and also we could do a free trial.
I heard about Pastor's Line through Planning Center. Favorite thing that closed the deal for us was the texting data capture/connection card
the main reason we signed up was there was a free trial, and it was easy to do so.
Almost everyone 🙂 has a cell phone so we are hoping that more members are reached and they like this way of notification.
We are considering paying for subscription for the guest follow up features and the various text features.
I considered you and textinchurch but liked your features and price better.
Searched ‘texting tools’ in the Facebook group. Liked lower cost and CCB integration.
great pricing for our small replant church and the option to change plans if/when we need to.
We were using PastorsLine for getting notes out to our "dream team" and an occasional text to receive this link during services.

...excited for the simplicity of having one number that serves as two ways to reach out to us… calling and texting.

I gave it a spin with their easy to initiate “free trial” and quickly found PastorsLine to be both an easy-to-use and extremely powerful tool.
I read about your service on a FB group and I was looking for something to integrate with PCO.
I heard about you through a Facebook group... You were mentioned in the comments and I checked you out from there. It was a bonus that you integrated with PCO.

Liked that the competitive price included a CCB integration.
I ultimately signed up because I was able to learn how to use it in a weekend, I tested it and it was able to do everything that I wanted it to do just in time for Easter.
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.
Recommended by friends. Signed up because: more comprehensive, right price, smarter system.
I didn’t need to give credit card info to sign up. I did the option to have greater access, but I was motivated by your “hospitality.”
Pastor's Line has the most powerful feature set at the most affordable price I have found. Simple. Powerful. Affordable.
I signed up because I’m trying to connect to our first-time guests in a culturally relevant way.
I ultimately chose PL because of the direct integration with PCO and the ability to do voice messages in addition to texts.
It seemed like it was what our church was looking for in a cloud-based messaging program (that was also user friendly) for everyone to keep in touch so I went ahead and made the purchase! We are loving it so far!
I reviewed all the ones available and decided that PastorsLine was the most versatile and cost effective.
This is really helping people feel like we are still together even though we can see each other in person right now.

PastorsLine highly recommended on Facebook by reachers for texting Guests
Liked Rext in Church UI but prefferd Pastorsline for the ability to turn off stop message and direct data capture. Pastorsline was also suggested in a FB group...
signed up for a trial because it was easy, did not cost anything and I could explore it. Getting ready to sign up for the year.
Ultimately, I signed up because I think your services are exactly what we need as a church. I like the myriad of options available. It sure made it easier that I could drop out at any time.

... we signed up because after beginning a trial period and our connection with Breeze, we were pleased with the system and the service we received.

Found PastorsLine on Facebook. Wanted a cloud-based messaging system.
I think text enabling the church's landline was fantastic... It provides a framework for team communication to visitors and members from the number that they can find on Google or our website. I love this feature.
I was recommended by Breezechms. I was looking for a mass phone call option that they don't have.
Liked the simple guest connection card so names and contact info don’t fall through the cracks.
I used and had success with by sending a bulk text message to a majority of the names that have visited our ministry over the past several months.
We sign up with PastorsLine because they had the best prices and the staff was very helpful at explaining features.
At the time preferred model of data capture is they way you guys do it.. although in the future we may want to have a Digital connect card function

signed up with Pastor’s Line because I had used it before and found it to be a great and easy tool to send out mass text messages.
I’ve gotten positive response from my contacts abut the messages they have received. Your price point is much better than your competition.
The integration with Breeze CHMS convinced us to give it a try.
It integrated with planning center and price was low. The multiple numbers option did catch our interest.
I then saw that you had direct integration with with community church builder and the platform was simple and easy to use which made the decision easy to sign up.

We have found that it's even better than expected! The features, ease of use, & the price, is definitely what we are looking for!
I heard about Pastorsline through Breeze representative.

Recommended by a staff member. Liked bulk text solution which integrates with CCB; free trial; user-friendly; great customer support.

You were church based and the text and voice broadcast option was something that we desired and PastorLine offered both.

Text reports and analytics with PastorsLine

We were looking for an alternative to SimpleText that was better priced and had “Robo” calling features. I found you all on google.
Your customer support/sign-up support was quite helpful, persistent and persuasive.
I think it has been working fine. So much less work for me, so I have time to do other things with PL.
I’d never heard about you, but when I saw the PCO integrations, I thought yeah – I need to check them out!
We heard of you through CCB’s partners website. We are looking for ways to engage our people through text messaging.
It has been a great feature to be able to use the landline hosting feature for our account. It allows us to promote one phone number for our church people.
I was searching for a simple, affordable way to implement Shortcode SMS for our church communication. I found PastorsLine. And, the fact that it integrates beautifully with Breeze chms is priceless
Googled ‘simpletexting’. Liked easy sign up, local area code, and real-time free trial.
I decided to sign up for the free trial from Pastorsline and another service too. Pastorsline offered support from the get go. I still have yet to hear from the other service-I don't plan on using it.
In my search I found a website (unfortunately I cannot remember which one that was) that mentioned that PastorsLine would integrate with PCO, so I checked it out.
Dozens of churches are already using
PastorsLine and seeing success.

...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.

Church Communications
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!

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.

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

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!

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.

[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 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 text message bible study invites are working great. We saw a huge increase from 5-6 to 10-12 and the numbers stayed consistent.

“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.”

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
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.

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
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
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.

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.

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.
