WHAT IS TEXT IN CHURCH?
Text in Church is a computer program that lets us keep in touch with you via a
text versus an email. We use Text In Church to communicate last minute things,
such as snow closures or prompts for prayer. We text every Saturday to let you
know a little about the message for the weekend. Want to stay in touch with us
via text? All you have to do is text the word CONNECT to (724) 246-6816.
