Church Chatbot Platform
Build unlimited SMS chatbots that collect connection cards, register for events, accept Christ decisions, and auto-enroll in your ChMS—170,000+ conversations and counting.
Sound Familiar?
Your church is growing. But the follow-up process hasn’t kept up—and every missed connection is a relationship that never starts.
Visitors fill them out, hand them in, and hope someone reads them. Half get lost before Monday morning.
By the time someone types the info into your ChMS and sends a welcome email, the visitor has already forgotten their experience.
80% of first-time church visitors don’t return for a second visit. The connection window closes fast.
Names, emails, phone numbers, prayer requests—all re-typed by hand from paper cards into a system that should have captured it automatically.
What if every visitor could connect in seconds…
and your ChMS updated itself?

The old way: paper cards, manual entry, delayed emails. The new way: one text, instant connection, automatic follow-up.
