What Group Texts Do Well
- No app onboarding friction
- Immediate familiarity for volunteers
- Fast setup for small teams
Group Texts For Church Security Teams
Group texts are easy to start and work on any phone. For small, stable groups, they can be enough.
Where they break: everyone receives everything, authority controls are weak, and accountability can be inconsistent for rotating volunteer teams.
What Usually Breaks
- No true on-duty routing
- Hard to control who can broadcast
- Message history is hard to manage for reviews
Where Sanctuary Signal Fits
Sanctuary Signal TEXT keeps the low-friction SMS experience while adding role-based controls, on-duty awareness, and cleaner operational visibility.
