Shepherding Connections
SMS announcements, automated visitor welcome sequences, call forwarding, keyword auto-responses, and trackable short links — all 10DLC compliant.
Shepherding Connections
Reach people where they are.
Shepherding Connections gives your church a professional, compliant communications platform without the complexity of enterprise tools. Built for ministry — not marketing.
Reach people on the channels they use
SMS Announcements
Text visitors, guests, and the contacts you're following up with. Messages send from a 10DLC-registered number, so they arrive as a normal text.
Call Forwarding
When someone you've been texting calls the number back, the call forwards to your church office. The number that reaches them isn't a dead end.
Automations
Set up multi-step sequences for visitor follow-up, new member onboarding, or seasonal campaigns.
Visitor Welcome Cards
A digital welcome card experience for first-time visitors. Captures contact info and triggers an automated follow-up sequence.
Keyword Auto-Responses
Members text a keyword (GIVE, EVENTS, PRAYER) and receive an instant automated response with the right information.
Short Links via shep.to
Create branded, trackable short links for bulletins, SMS campaigns, and signage. See who clicks and when.

And he told them many things in parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow."
