Private Mass Texting for Faith Communities
Text service updates, prayer requests, and volunteer opportunities directly to your congregation, without complicated platforms or ongoing fees.
Why church communication software is overpriced
You're a pastor, youth minister, worship leader, or volunteer coordinator. When you need to share prayer requests, notify the congregation about service changes, or recruit volunteers for Sunday's event, your options are expensive or ineffective.
Church management software is expensive.
Planning Center, Church Community Builder, and Breeze charge hundreds per year for features you don't need. Your small church has a limited budget, and spending $1,200+/year on software means less money for community outreach.
Instead, why not send updates and requests to your congregation without turning it into a shared conversation? BCC Text keeps information clear, responses direct, and nothing spills into side discussions.
Respectful, private communication for congregations
BCC Text lets you send the same message to your congregation privately. Each person receives an individual text from your real phone number. They can reply directly to you, but they never see who else received the message.
How it works
Save your congregation groups once
Create groups like "Congregation," "Prayer Chain," "Youth Group Parents," "Worship Team," "Volunteers." Import from your church database or add manually.
Write your message once
Type your prayer request, service update, or volunteer ask. Add [First Name] for a personal touch.
Send with one tap
Your entire group receives individual texts in under 60 seconds. Each person can reply privately with prayer requests or questions.
How faith leaders use BCC Text
Service changes
Notify the congregation of last-minute schedule changes while keeping replies directed to you, not spread across a group thread.
Prayer requests
Send prayer requests privately to individuals so sensitive situations aren't exposed or discussed publicly.
Event reminders
Deliver reminders that arrive as direct texts, increasing the chance they're read without turning into conversations.
Volunteer opportunities
Request help without creating social pressure or public reply chains. Responses come back to you one-to-one.
Weekly encouragement
Share short messages of encouragement that feel personal, even when sent to many people at once.
Emergency updates
Send urgent updates quickly and clearly, with responses routed directly back to the organiser.
Private mass texting serves your community better
Faithful stewardship
$45 one-time cost instead of $50-150/month forever. That's $600-1,800/year saved for mission work, building maintenance, or helping families in need.
Volunteer-friendly
Simple enough that non-technical volunteers can use it. No training required. If they can send a text, they can use this.
Pastoral connection
Messages come from the pastor or leader's real phone number. Personal touch maintains the shepherd-flock relationship instead of impersonal software notifications.
Prayer chain efficiency
Send prayer requests to your entire prayer chain in 60 seconds instead of the old phone tree system where information gets lost.
Respects privacy
Congregation members don't want their phone numbers shared with everyone. Each person receives private messages and can reply confidentially.
Multi-ministry management
Youth pastor, worship leader, volunteer coordinator, and senior pastor can each use it for their specific groups. One $45 payment covers the entire church forever.
Frequently asked questions
When is BCC Text appropriate to use in a faith community?
BCC Text is useful when you need to communicate clearly without inviting public discussion. It’s suited to service changes, reminders, volunteer coordination, and time-sensitive updates where replies should come back to leadership.
Why not just use a group text or WhatsApp group?
Group messages make everyone visible to each other and turn updates into conversations. BCC Text sends messages privately, so members receive the information without pressure to reply publicly or engage in side discussions.
Is this suitable for sensitive messages like prayer requests?
Yes, for requests that are meant to be shared respectfully without commentary. Messages are delivered one-to-one, so situations are not exposed to group replies or unintended discussion.
How does this help reduce admin work for leaders?
Replies come back directly to the sender instead of being spread across group threads. You don’t need to moderate conversations, clarify misunderstandings publicly, or manage multiple platforms for simple communication.
Is this meant to replace church management software?
No. BCC Text complements existing systems. It’s for moments when you need to reach people quickly and privately, without logging into software or preparing formal communications.
How do you handle people who no longer want to receive texts?
You can easily remove them from the group. There are no automated messages or ongoing campaigns, making it easier to respect individual preferences.
