Reach Every Member With Bulk SMS in Minutes
Send announcements, reminders and follow-ups to individuals, groups or your whole church from one screen.
Not everyone in your church is on the same messaging app, and important announcements often get lost in busy group chats. When a service time changes or a meeting is called, you need a way to reach members directly and be sure the message arrives.
Churchy sends bulk SMS to your members and groups through Hellio Messaging. Because it uses the same member database as the rest of your church system, you can message the right people from your own sender ID without exporting a single list.
Why SMS with Churchy works
Message any group
Text one member, a single ministry or the whole church using groups you already have in Churchy.
Your own sender ID
Messages arrive under your church name so members recognise who is reaching out.
Reminders and follow-ups
Send service reminders, event alerts and first-timer follow-ups so no one is forgotten.
Reliable delivery
SMS is sent through Hellio Messaging so your message lands even without internet on the other end.
Messaging that uses the data you already have
Because SMS is built into Churchy, you never have to copy phone numbers into another tool. Choose a member, a group, a ministry or your entire congregation, write your message, and send. The recipients come straight from your member database, so your lists are always current and you avoid the errors that come from exporting and re-uploading contacts.
The right message at the right moment
SMS is ideal for the moments that matter, such as reminding members about a service change, welcoming a first-time visitor, or following up with someone who has been away. With your own sender ID and delivery through Hellio Messaging, your church can communicate clearly and personally, reaching people directly on the phones they carry every day.
