As a church leader, you've dedicated countless hours to preparing, researching, writing, and practicing your sermons. Yet, it can often feel like your message doesn’t make it past the parking lot with a majority of your congregation.
What if this year was different? What if your Easter sermon didn’t end with the final “Amen,” but continued to inspire your congregation—and even reach those who missed it—for days to come?
That’s the power of church texting for Easter engagement. And with Gloo’s free church texting platform, it’s never been easier to keep people engaged long after Easter Sunday.
Why Church Texting Is Perfect for Easter Engagement
Church texting is the most effective and preferred communication method today—and that’s especially true around holidays like Easter, when inboxes are flooded and social feeds are crowded. A single text cuts through the noise and reaches people where they’re most likely to see it: their phone.
With free church texting, you can extend the impact of your Easter message in just a few minutes a day. Here’s how:
Welcome New Visitors after Easter with Texting
Many Easter visitors are attending church for the first time in months—or ever. Warm and thoughtful follow-up texts make all the difference in whether they return. You can even invite them to reply directly or fill out a short form to learn more about small groups, upcoming events, or their next steps.
You can:
- Send a “thank you for visiting” message on Monday
- Include a link to learn about small groups or events
- Invite them to reply with questions or prayer needs
A personal follow up makes people feel like you're here for them. Connect with them right on their phones so they know they can rely on you.
Send Daily Devotionals via Text to Extend Your Message
Reinforce the themes of your Easter message by sending a short daily devotional via text each day during the week following Easter.
You can:
- Send a Bible verse, a question for reflection, or encouragement
- Automate daily or weekly messages
- Keep your people focused on faith throughout the week
Use Church Texting to Send Event Reminders After Easter
Easter isn’t the end—it’s the beginning. Use church texting to send event reminders so your congregation knows what’s coming next and how they can stay connected.
You can:
- Send friendly event reminders
- Include RSVP or sign up links
- Invite people to stay connected and subscribe to future event updates
Easter may be the highlight, but what comes next matters even more. With church texting, you can ensure your seats are always filled.
Collect and Respond to Prayer Requests with Text Messaging
Easter can stir deep emotions and open hearts. Using texting to collect prayer requests is a low-pressure way to invite people to share prayer requests and feel supported. Every message becomes a moment for ministry—and a reminder that your church cares.
You can:
- Use a displayed QR code to collect prayer requests via text
- Assign prayer requests to your prayer team in the Prayer Request Inbox
- Let people know that they have been prayed for so no one is left wondering
If you're ready to get started, here's an easy weekly guide your prayer team can use.
Keep Easter Momentum Going with Weekly Encouragement
After Easter, the goal is connection. With a simple weekly text, you can check in, encourage, and remind people that they’re part of something bigger. These small touches build trust and keep faith in focus—long after the big day has passed.
With texting, you can:
- Keep your church community engaged
- Remind people they’re part of something bigger
- Build ongoing relationships
By using church texting to improve communication, you strengthen relationships and keep faith front and center all week long.
