Description: Tatango.com is a group text messaging tool packed with lots of great features. Just watch the video above to get a quick overview. Tatango is just one of several solutions on the market for group texting. See my earlier posts on a comparison of different solutions.

Ministry Applications:

1. A group text messaging tool is essential for any student ministry. Many of our student pastors use Tatango to communicate with their students and parents. They use it for spontaneous meetups, contests, and general news and announcements.
2. Our volunteer ministry staff uses Tatango to send out announcements of volunteer opportunities. They call it Flash Serve….giving individuals scheduled and spontaneous opportunities to drop what someone is doing and jump in to meet a specific need.
3. Our new member ministry uses text messaging to send out ‘all calls’ to their trained new member team who help individuals wanting to join the church and/or be baptized following our worship services.
4. This is also an effective tool to create a text messaging group for your employees or leaders to alert them to last minute schedule changes, emergency information, and/or urgent prayer needs.
