Case Study: Saddleback Church achieves reliable parent notifications and increased congregation engagement with EZ Texting

How Saddleback Church Connected and Inspired Parishioners Across the Globe

Saddleback Church, one of the largest churches in the U.S., serves thousands through multiple campuses, ministries and weekly services. The church needed a more reliable, cost-effective way to contact parents (replacing costly pagers), increase interactivity for webcast/TV audiences, and offer opt-in daily Bible verse messages.

Saddleback integrated EZ Texting’s SMS platform and API with its membership database to send parent alerts, capture email leads during broadcasts, run live trivia/polls, and manage daily verse subscriptions on their website. The solution replaced pagers, reduced costs, improved notification reliability, and significantly increased audience engagement both in-person and online.
