Your staff are still texting congregants at 10pm. This session shows you how to move calling and texting into one app that plugs into your ChMS — so care still happens, the church keeps the record, and people can finally turn it off.
The care arrives by text at 10pm. A grieving family reaches out, a volunteer needs an answer, someone's in crisis — and it all lands on a staff member's personal cell, long after the office lights went dark. There's no line between church and life anymore.
Nobody's logging any of it. Nobody's protected by it. And when a staff member wants to be present with their own family for the night, there's no way to actually turn it off — the church lives in their pocket, always on.
Jerod Walker · Intulse
Jerod pastored for 20 years — six of them as a church planter — and ran the whole thing from his phone, until his health forced him to stop. Today he's on the leadership team at Intulse, where the church phone is an app connected to your ChMS, so the phone can finally have an off switch.
Four honest, practical takeaways you can act on the week after the call.
The church line rides as an app on your staff's cell. Hit the off button and it leaves their personal number completely alone.
Calls and texts log straight to Planning Center, Rock RMS, ChurchStaq, Breeze, or MinistryPlatform — so care stays with the church, not a personal phone.
Staff call and text from the church line on their own device. Your people see the church, not a private cell number.
Real costs, how a 15-person staff actually rolls it out, and what to say when someone groans "not another app."
Twenty years in ministry as a children's pastor, lead pastor, and church planter, followed by nonprofit financial ministry, and now Intulse. He and his wife Joanne have six kids in Wisconsin.
Will tell the story of running a church from his cell — and what finally changed.
Host of the unSeminary Podcast and leader of the Church Growth Incubator. Author of "Unlocking Your Church's Invite Culture" and "The Church Growth Flywheel," working with churches across Canada and the US.
Will ask the questions an executive pastor would actually ask.
Everyone who attends live gets a free demo of the Intulse app running on their own church's database — see the off switch, the logging, and click-to-call from your ChMS with your actual people in it.
We'll share access to it at the end of the webinar so you can try it right away.
Register anyway. The replay hits your inbox the next day.
No. The examples use Planning Center, Rock, ChurchStaq, Breeze, and MinistryPlatform, but the idea applies to any church with staff on personal cells.
Executive pastors, operations directors, lead pastors, and comms/admin team members who feel the 10pm text problem.
