Incoming Text Messages
Text messaging has been a great tool for churches using Church Office Online and we want to continue to enhance our text messaging features to empower your ministry. We are excited to announce that your Church Office Online sms text messaging phone number can now receive incoming text messages. This allows you to quickly and easily see responses to text messages you have sent, or collect responses to questions or polls you pose to your congregation.

This report will show you all incoming sms text messages that have been sent to your unique Church Office Online sms phone number for any date range you specify. Using this report, you can view responses to text messages you sent out or view incoming text messages for questions or polls you have posed to your congregation.

New Reports Available
We are pleased to announce that three new reports are available in Church Membership Online. We believe these reports will benefit your staff and assist them in great church management.
Contributors Report
Need to know who the contributors are in your congregation so you can send them a letter of encouragement? Or maybe you need to know who gave to a specific fund for tracking purposes. The Contributors report enables you to determine who gave donations to the funds you specify and then create a list of contributors or mailing labels so you can send out communications.
Individual Pledge Statement
You can now create a pledge statement for individuals to help keep them up to date on how much they have pledged to various funds and how close they are to fulfilling their pledges. This is a great tool to help people track their giving goals.
Spiritual Development Report
Tracking spiritual development is an important part of a healthy ministry. Our new Spiritual Development Report enables you to quickly produce a list of individuals that have completed any spiritual development categories you select within a timeframe that you specify. You can also generate mailing labels for the individuals included in the report for follow up.
Thanks!
