Case Study: Hyde Wesleyan Church saves time and money and boosts youth participation with OnSolve One Call Now

Hyde Wesleyan Church makes the switch Saves time and money; increases youth participation

Hyde Wesleyan Church, a nearly 230-member congregation in Clearfield, PA, struggled with an outdated calling-tree phone system that was bulky, slow and produced garbled or cut-off messages. The church needed a more reliable, easy-to-update way to notify congregants—especially youth—about cancellations, emergencies, ministry updates and events.

Hyde Wesleyan switched to One Call Now’s web-based voice, email and text notifications, immediately improving reach and ease of use. The church saved 94 hours of calling time, eliminated an extra phone line, and used the savings to upgrade its security system. Better communication—including text messaging to youth—led to increased small-group sign-ups and higher overall participation.
