Rx for churches: PastorsLine—Church Community Builder Text Integrations

    

We’ll be totally upfront and begin with the conclusion.

PastorsLine partners who are using Church Community Builder Text Integrations are reporting significant wins. We think your church should be one of them. Now we’ll tell you why.

Did you know that “church attendance does not necessarily equal church health”?

An article on the Church Community Builder website (CCB) raises this very important question and then points to some factors which we should take into consideration. These factors include how often your church members attend church, how many first-time guests are actually returning, and how many first-time guests are slipping through the cracks (not getting any follow-up).


To help churches capture and understand this critical data, CCB offers a range of metrics which can be customized per leadership role. This includes churches which are multisite/multicampus.

Have you looked at your church metrics lately?

How are you doing? If you are doing well, you could be doing better. If you are doing poorly, it’s time to get things back on track.


We all know that churches which are not growing are not thriving.

Communication is key

Fortunately, you have already created contacts, groups, process queues and saved searches on CCB. You have already captured important data. Now all you need is a bulk texting messaging service, preferably one which is church-centric. In other words, a church text messaging service AND have that service integrate with CCB.

Enter PastorsLine and the possibility of Church Community Builder Text Integrations.

Integrating PastorsLine and CCB gives your church improved communication and better relationships with your church members and first-time guests. Integration also reduces your workload.


Instead of a form, PastorsLine uses Digital Connect Texts. These automated messaging dialogues with a human touch capture data via text message. In other words, you are reaching people on today’s #1 communication device: their mobile phones.


Digital Connect Texts are an excellent way to reach out and connect with first-time guests. Guests opt in by texting a keyword to your church line or PastorsLine number. It’s an unintrusive but welcoming process which they can do at a time and place of their choosing.


PastorsLine also has other communicative options. One is automated birthday wishes, so you remember people on their special day. Another is polls. Polls serve many functions: a contest to create interest in an upcoming event, a quick check to see if people understood the point you just made in your sermon or bible study class, and a feedback method to see how your church is doing in answering people’s needs and how it can improve.

What about the generation gap, i.e., people who prefer old-school voice messaging?

PastorsLine is a Mass Calling And Texting Service. So, no problem to send a voice message...or receive one.

How does the integration work?

PastorsLine offers a 2-way PastorsLine—CCB sync. Thus, any data captured by PastorsLine can be pushed through to CCB immediately. The data you capture/add in CCB can be pulled into PastorsLine. The result is that both apps are kept up-to-date.

Let’s repeat our conclusion from above…

PastorsLine partners who are using Church Community Builder Text Integrations are reporting significant wins. We think your church should be one of them.
