Text In Church
Text In Church is perfect for relational customer interaction. If you're just looking to push information to your customers, without any ability to respond, you don't need this tool. But if you want to take your customer service to the next level, show up on platform customers already use, and allow customers to reach out with questions, Text in Church is perfect for you.

The City would work well for a church who struggles to provide an easy way for members to connect and join groups. While the app has some drawbacks, as noted above, it beats allowing visitors and members to remain disconnected and in the dark about ways to involve themselves in church activities. Better to have this kind of ability to connect than none at all.

While I haven't used another social networking app built for churches, I have used an app built by another local church. The City makes connecting with members easier. The user experience is severely lacking in The City app. It does, however, facilitate connections between members.
