Text Messaging

Did you know that text messages have a 98% open rate? Text can be an extremely powerful way to connect with your congregation and help people to grow. Using our powerful texting tools, we can help you to share info, boost prayer requests, and connect with your people on Sundays and every day in between.

Here are just a few of the features available:

  • Easily gather and respond to Prayer Requests

  • Send custom Broadcast text messages to your entire congregation or smaller groups with announcements and updates

  • Create custom Workflows to automatically send information with a quick keyword

  • Create unlimited Groups to be able to organize people and easily send communications to just the right group

For a full list of the messaging features available, check out our Feature Guides.

Partner Hubs

The Discover tab is full of videos, guides, templates, links, downloads, and other resources to make you more effective in all aspects of your ministry. Some of those resources are simple one-off tools, but others come to you as packages from trusted partners who want to make large amounts of their content available to you for free in the Gloo Discover tab. When a partner has released these large packages of resources, we've collected that content into Hubs for you to browse.

Assessments

Do you want to check in on the health and wellbeing of your congregation? Would you like to know how effective your current strategies are? Are you curious how your church attendees view Jesus and theology? Alongside partners like Barna, Gloo has made our Assessments tool free for you to use as part of your account.

You can easily send these powerful Assessments directly from your Gloo account using our messaging features.

Marketplace

As a result of exciting partnerships with trusted stores and vendors like Outreach.com, Children's Ministry Deals, Shift Worship, and many more, you'll find a variety of products available for purchase in the Marketplace, a one-stop-shop with everything leaders need to have a more connected ministry.
