A verse to start the morning. A warm welcome for every first-time guest. A gentle nudge to gather for prayer and small groups. Simple texting that keeps your church close, with no monthly plan.
“Let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together… but encouraging one another.”Hebrews 10:24–25
The week is long, and Sunday can feel far away. A few thoughtful words on a phone can lift someone’s day, bring them back to a small group, or remind them they’re prayed for.
Hand-pick a verse and schedule it for 7 AM. People wake up to Scripture, with their own name, in English or Spanish.
Good morning, Maria. “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Psalm 23:1
Ready-made journeys your church can start with one click: 21 Days in the Psalms, the Gospel of John in 30 days, verses for new believers.
Day 3 of 21 · Psalms of comfort: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1
Invite replies, and every prayer request lands in one private inbox your team answers. Nobody hands out a personal cell number.
Reply with anything we can pray for this week. Our prayer team reads every message.
A Sunday-afternoon text with one line from the message and a question to talk about at dinner or in small group.
Today’s message in one line: grace finds us before we find it. Talk about it Wednesday at 7.
A short daily word through Advent, Lent and Holy Week, so the whole church journeys toward Christmas and Easter together.
Advent, day 1: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given.” Isaiah 9:6
Birthdays, baptisms, anniversaries, a new baby. Small blessings, sent at the right moment, that people remember.
Happy birthday, James! Your Grace family is thanking God for you today.
Put “Text GUEST to (555) 010-0100” on a slide. A warm welcome goes out within minutes, so no visitor leaves unnoticed.
Welcome to Grace! We’re so glad you came. What’s your first name?
Time changes, weather closings, VBS sign-ups, potlucks. Most texts are read within minutes.
Reminder: Wednesday dinner is at 6. Bring a friend!
Lists for youth parents, the worship team, greeters or small groups. Text one group without bothering the others.
Greeters: we need two more for Sunday 9 AM. Reply YES.
Print a QR code for the bulletin or lobby. People join your list in seconds, and their consent is recorded for you.
Share your giving page link for a building fund or mission trip, at the moments that matter.
Move the sliders. You pay for texts as you send them, out of a balance you top up. If you don’t text, it costs nothing.
An example year for a church of 150: busy at Easter, VBS and Christmas, quiet in late summer. With a subscription, the quiet months cost the same as the busy ones.
Most church texting services sell a monthly plan sized for your busiest month. FaithTexting charges for what you actually send.
Very large churches that send tens of thousands of texts every month may find a big flat plan works out similar. Our calculator above shows your real number.
Per text up to 160 characters, carrier fees included. Longer texts count per 160 characters; a picture message counts as 3. Replies are free. Your church’s own local number is passed through at cost (about $1.15 a month), with no markup, plus a one-time carrier registration we handle for you.
Mensajes listos en español, páginas de registro en español y ayuda en español. Para iglesias bilingües, cada persona recibe los mensajes en su idioma.
Iglesia Gracia: El servicio de mañana cambia a las 10:30. ¡Los esperamos!
¡Bienvenido a Gracia! Nos alegra que nos visitara. ¿Cuál es su nombre?
There’s no plan or subscription. The only recurring cost is your church’s phone number itself, about $1.15 a month, which we pass through at cost because every carrier charges it. Everything else is pay-as-you-text from your prepaid balance.
Yes. Write or paste the verse, pick the time, and schedule it. When people sign up, tell them how often to expect texts (for example, “one verse each morning”), so everyone knows what they’re getting. Public-domain translations like the King James Version (English) and the Reina-Valera 1909 (Spanish) can be quoted freely; most modern translations allow church use within their publisher’s quotation limits. Ready-made reading plans are coming soon.
No. Your first 100 texts are free, and you only add funds when you’re ready to send more.
Nothing. Your balance waits for you, your list stays safe, and you pay nothing for texts you didn’t send.
No. Many churches are tax-exempt without an IRS letter. We register your number with the carriers using your church’s EIN and a little information about your ministry, and we walk you through it.
Yes, and replies are free. They land in a shared inbox so your staff can answer prayer requests and questions from one place.
Only people who opt in get your texts, by keyword, QR code or sign-up form, and every message lets them reply STOP. We keep the consent records for you, which is what carriers require.
FaithTexting is built by the team behind MyCleanText, which started by texting volunteers for MyCleanOcean, an ocean conservation nonprofit in Newport Beach. We built the tools we needed ourselves, then made them simple enough for any church.
FaithTexting is made for churches and ministries. Other nonprofits and businesses use our sister service, MyCleanText: same texting, same no-monthly-plan pricing.
A church texting 150 people once a week sends about 600 texts a month, which is about $16.80. Use the calculator above with your own numbers.
Set up your church in about ten minutes. No credit card to start, and no plan to cancel later, because there isn’t one.
