Group and One-Way Mass Texting in Realm offers a single, comprehensive vehicle for real-time communication. Integrated directly in Realm, your church is assigned a dedicated phone number so that staff can send or schedule one-way texts to your entire congregation or specific people. Group leaders can also use text communication to engage with group members. Realm keeps track of everything that has been sent, so that staff and group leaders know who they are reaching and if any one may be falling through the cracks.

Reach more people and engage your church instantly

  • Staff can send one-way text messages from anywhere in Realm where an email can be sent (queries, dashboards, pathways)
  • Group leaders can send text communications to their groups or specific people in their groups and specify if replies are allowed for group text messages
  • View a history of text messages sent
  • Congregants can specify their communication preferences related to text communications and receive instant communications from your church

Keep your groups connected:

  • Group leaders can send messages to all or a subset of group members
  • Group leaders can access a history of previously sent communications, which includes text messages
  • Group members can receive and reply to texts whether or not they have a Realm account
  • Administrators can limit the groups for which texting is available

Your Realm subscription (Connect or Multiply) includes the ability for congregants to receive text messages as a communication preference. There are multiple pricing plans that best the communication needs of your church. These plans include both group and one-way mass texting.
