By bringing together First Impressions, PastorsLine, and Huddle Talks under the Text In Church umbrella, we offer churches a comprehensive solution that combines practical training, powerful software, and a shared heart for ministry. Our vision is to help leaders communicate with clarity, build stronger connections, and guide their communities with care," said Tyler Smith , Co-founder and CEO of Text In Church.

A Year of Expansion and Impact

In May 2025, over 600 church leaders participated in the First Impressions Online Conference , marking a powerful start to this new era of hospitality and leadership training. With over 150 churches now enrolled in First Impressions Academy , ministry teams are gaining real-time access to best practices for creating welcoming church environments and enhancing guest retention. Academy members have exclusive access to monthly training modules, playbooks and systems, live coaching sessions, and a community of like-minded ministry leaders.

Through Huddle Talks , pastors and church leaders have access to leadership coaching, team communication resources, and proven strategies for building healthy ministry cultures.

Meanwhile, the PastorsLine acquisition has strengthened the core Text In Church platform with new features such as Voice Broadcasts , expanded Page functionality , and enhanced integrations with leading Church Management Systems (ChMS). These upgrades help churches centralize their communication efforts and improve engagement between Sundays.
