Church text updates

Get text updates from your church

Churches that use Ekkle can send informational SMS (announcements, prayer requests, and event reminders) from their own phone number. The church is the sender; Ekkle provides the delivery platform. Sign up below or text a published opt-in keyword to that church's number.

Consent to receive these messages is not required to create an Ekkle account or to use any Ekkle service. Account security verification codes (two-factor authentication) are sent separately through Telnyx Verify and are not part of this church SMS program.

Sign up for text updates

Enter your name, mobile number, and the name of your church. We will send a confirmation text from that church's number so you can finish opting in.

You will receive recurring informational SMS from the church you list above (announcements, prayer requests, and event reminders), delivered through Ekkle. Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, reply STOP to opt out. Consent is not a condition of purchase. Your mobile information will not be sold or shared with third parties for promotional or marketing purposes. See our Privacy Policy and SMS Terms.

Already know a keyword?

Many churches publish a short keyword (for example, JOIN) and their SMS phone number. Text the keyword to that number from your mobile phone to opt in. You will receive a confirmation reply from the church.

Account security codes (separate from church SMS)

Ekkle may send one-time verification codes when you add a phone number or sign in with two-factor authentication. Those codes are delivered through Telnyx Verify and are not part of any church SMS list or 10DLC messaging campaign.

  • How you opt in: You request a code by adding your mobile number in your Ekkle profile or by enabling two-factor authentication.
  • Message types: one-time verification codes only.
  • How to stop: Remove your phone number from your profile or disable two-factor authentication. Replying STOP to a church SMS number does not affect account verification codes.
