The part nobody wants to think about? Done.

Texting a congregation comes with rules. GLAD ships with the rules already handled — keywords, opt-ins and preferences work out of the box.

STOP, HELP & START — automatic

STOP or UNSUBSCRIBE opts a member out instantly. HELP gets an auto-reply. START re-opts them in with a confirmation. CTIA keyword handling is built into the webhook layer — nothing to configure, nothing to forget.

Per-member opt-in, respected everywhere

Every member carries their own SMS opt-in status, and every send checks it — blasts, event changes and automations alike. Nobody who opted out gets texted.

Members choose their categories

In the member portal, people mute the categories they don't want and keep the ones they do — fewer blanket opt-outs, because members aren't forced into all-or-nothing.

What your church can send

Three kinds of messages — every one respecting each member's preferences.

Text the whole congregation

Compose a message and send it to your whole congregation at once — snow closure, schedule change, urgent prayer need. Straight to every opted-in phone.

Event changes, to every registrant

Cancel or change an event and GLAD texts every registrant automatically — no export, no copy-paste, no one showing up to a locked building.

Automation-driven texts

Wire SMS into your workflows: reminders, follow-ups and triggered messages send themselves when an automation fires — routine communication stops being a weekly chore.

Your church gets its own toll-free texting number

On plans that include texting, your church texts from its own toll-free number — one consistent number your members recognize and save.

Carrier verification applies before your number starts texting; GLAD walks you through the registration steps.

Texting is one piece of the platform

The same platform runs your Sunday presentation, your member app, your giving and your books — one login, one bill.

Yes, automatically. STOP and UNSUBSCRIBE opt the member out instantly, HELP sends an auto-reply, and START re-opts them in with a confirmation text — CTIA keyword handling is built into GLAD, not something you configure.
Yes. Members manage per-category mute preferences plus a global opt-out, self-serve in the member portal — no office phone calls to update a list.
On plans that include texting, your church gets its own toll-free texting number, so members see one consistent number for everything your church sends. Carrier verification applies before texting begins — GLAD walks you through the registration steps.
Yes. GLAD includes a broadcast composer: write one message, choose recipients — the whole congregation, a ministry, or a life group — review, and send. The review step shows exactly who will receive it and who is skipped because they opted out or have no mobile number on file; only opted-in members are ever texted. Blasts go out from your church's own texting number once carrier registration is complete, every message ends with an opt-out line, and sends use your plan's SMS credits, with a daily sending cap that protects your number's reputation.
