What makes church communication harder than it should be?
How ChurchRaise helps
“Managing too many different tools.”
One place for email and SMS
Send branded email and text from ChurchRaise instead of juggling a newsletter tool, personal phones, and separate group chats. Announcements stay with your people data.
1 / 8
Everything you need to communicate
Branding, scheduling, segments, lists, automations, and analytics — one place for church email and SMS.
Branding customization
Use your church’s logo, colors, and style in every email so messages look consistent and professional.
Scheduled send
Plan SMS or email broadcasts ahead of time so reminders and announcements go out when people are most likely to see them.
Segments
Create segments by tags, groups, engagement, or custom criteria. Send the right message without another spreadsheet.
Lists
Build lists for ministries, teams, volunteers, or events. Lists update as people join or leave so communication stays accurate.
Automated responses
Set automatic replies for forms, keywords, or triggers so prayer requests and sign-ups get an immediate confirmation.
Delivery analytics
View sends, deliveries, opens, and clicks so you know your message reached the right people.
How church communications works
Start from the people you already have, send branded email or SMS, then schedule and measure without another marketing stack.
Connect your people
Communications uses the same ChurchRaise people, tags, groups, and lists your other modules already share — no separate contact upload for every send.
Write once, send email or SMS
Draft the announcement, choose email, SMS, or both, and pick the audience. Branding and mobile-friendly layouts are ready without another design tool.
Schedule, automate, and learn
Send now or later, set simple automations for follow-up, and review delivery analytics so next week’s message is clearer.
