Incoming Call...
Visitor
"Hi, I'm new to the area and looking for a church home. What time are your Sunday services?"
AI Receptionist
"We'd love to welcome you! Sunday services are at 9 AM and 11 AM. Would you like me to reserve a seat for you this Sunday?"
✓ Visitor Welcomed • Sunday 11 AM
First-time visitors call at night, families no-show to events, and your admin team can't keep up with prayer requests and meeting coordination. There's a better way.
Someone searches for a church home at 10 PM, calls, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, they've already visited another church that answered.
While you're leading Bible study, five calls come in. Prayer requests, counseling appointments, event registrations—you can't be everywhere at once. Visitors get frustrated waiting, and families slip through the cracks.
They register for your newcomer's breakfast, you prepare coffee and materials, and they don't show. You send one follow-up email that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no opportunity to welcome them into the fold.
