Case Study: First Baptist Church achieves fast, reliable congregation-wide announcements with OnSolve One Call Now

First Baptist Church - Customer Case Study

First Baptist Church of Brainerd, a traditional church in Baxter, Minnesota with more than 300 members, faced slow, unreliable communications using a manual calling-tree that could take 8–10 hours or even up to two days to notify congregants and often missed people. Seeking a modern solution, they selected OnSolve’s One Call Now service to replace the cumbersome, time-consuming process.

OnSolve implemented its One Call Now web-based mass-notification tools (voice recording, subgroups, and call scheduling), allowing staff to call everyone at once, schedule messages in advance, and deliver announcements within minutes instead of hours or days. Since partnering with OnSolve in 2009, First Baptist Church reports faster, more reliable outreach, no tied-up phone lines, and improved member notification—plus the added benefit of sending messages in the pastor’s own voice.
