You might find it helpful to know ways other churches are using Clearstream. Here are just a few...

Churchwide Mass Texting πŸ’¬

The most common use for Clearstream is sending mass texts: announcements, weather emergencies, daily devotionals, etc. Import or integrate your contacts into Clearstream and you're ready to send a message. All incoming responses will only go into your Clearstream inbox.
​

First-Time Guest Follow-Up πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦

Let visitors text in (Text JOIN to (775) 347-7333) and receive a digital connect card. Then, trigger automated follow-up texts over the next few weeks encouraging them to visit again or join a small group.​

Prayer Requests πŸ™

Churches use Clearstream every week to gather prayer requests from their members. Your team gets notified for new requests and can personally respond and continue one-on-one conversations from our web or mobile apps.

Youth Ministry 🀳

Your youth leaders are likely already texting with students. Invite your youth pastor to manage a subaccount. Subaccounts have their own separate inbox, subscribers, and keywords (Text YOUTH to (775) 347-7333). Each subaccount can have multiple users managing it and you can easily see which user is responding from the inbox.
