Growing Discipleship with Daily Text Messages
When the pandemic forced churches online, Life Worth Living Church saw many members disengage from services. Lead Pastor Steve Norman turned to SMS as a new way to keep his community connected and encouraged.
Instead of weekly “experience sheets,” Steve now sends daily scripture-based texts that members can read in seconds. With SimpleTexting, he can schedule a week’s worth of messages in just 15 minutes.
The results have been powerful: members are reading their bibles more, replying with personal questions, and even sharing texts with friends and family. What started as a tool for church members has now grown into a broader ministry through text-to-join keywords.
With open rates far higher than email and private, personal conversations built right in, Steve believes texting is the future of discipleship and evangelism. Read the full success-story here
