AI agents call your congregation
about visitors, services and events.
A call, a voicemail in a familiar staff voice, then a text to everyone who didn't answer — and one plain list each morning of who's coming and who needs a person.
- Visitor follow-up
- Christmas & Easter invitations
- Call + text in one thread
Take the Call
Yourself
The fastest way to judge an AI phone agent is to be on the receiving end. Pick an agent, enter your number, and it calls you within moments.
Receive a live call and hear how it handles a real conversation.

Answering the phone, on film
Watch the church phone get answered
on a Sunday evening.
Three minutes: an agent gets built from your own site, taught your service times and who to reach for a baptism, a funeral or a pastoral need, then answers a real call and passes on a message the same night.
The short answer
AutoCallFlow runs congregation phone campaigns for churches: it calls first-time visitors while they still remember the visit, invites members to Christmas, Easter and seasonal programmes, follows up after Commitment Sunday, and texts everyone who didn't answer. On a comparable campaign, 26% of calls became live conversations. Outbound campaigns start at $60/mo.
Illustrative call
What the workflow
can sound like.
Fictional example: A first-time visitor filled in a card on Sunday. It is Tuesday evening.
AutoCallFlow agent
Hello, I'm calling on behalf of the church — you visited us on Sunday and left your details. Is now an okay time?
Caller
Oh, yes. We were just trying it out.
AutoCallFlow agent
We are glad you came. Was there anything you were looking for that I can point you to — service times, anything for children?
Caller
We have two young kids, so what happens with them during the service?
AutoCallFlow agent
I'll text you the details for the children's programme and the service times. If you'd like someone from the church to call you, I can arrange that too.
Caller
The text is great for now, thanks.
Visitor reached in 48 hours · Children's programme details texted · No callback requested
Outbound campaigns
Three campaigns
churches run each year.
Most churches have no dues and no tickets, so this is not a billing campaign. It is reach: visitors, invitations, re-engagement, and the follow-up after an appeal that the office never has time for. Outbound is included from the Growth plan up.
01
You send the list
Visitor cards, the membership roll, or a spreadsheet. We clean it first and tell you what came out.
02
You approve the script
Nothing is dialled until you have read exactly what the agent says. It never claims to be a member or a volunteer, and a campaign pauses automatically if it goes off script.
03
It calls, then texts
Live answers handled in conversation. No-answers get a voicemail in a familiar staff voice and a text with your own registration link.
04
Your office gets the short list
Coming, wants a call from a person, needs pastoral follow-up, moved away, remove me. Staff reply in the same thread.
First-time visitor follow-up
The highest-value call a church makes, and the one most often left until the cards go cold. Runs within a day or two of Sunday.
- Answers service, children and programme questions from your material
- Texts the details and your own next-step link
- Flags anyone who wants a real conversation with someone
Christmas, Easter & programme invitations
Seasonal invitations and registrations — services, vacation Bible school, retreats. One call can cover a ticketed programme and a free service.
- Collects headcounts by call and by text reply
- Texts your registration link; we never take payment
- Start about two weeks out, not two days
Re-engagement & commitment follow-up
The "we have missed you" call, and the follow-up after an appeal or Commitment Sunday for people who never responded to the mailings.
- Invitational in tone, never a demand — no amounts, no budget talk
- Someone in difficulty is routed to your staff, not re-asked
- Records who has moved away or joined another church
Outbound campaigns are included from the Growth plan ($60/mo). We clean the list, write and test the script with you, watch every call, and send the reports.
What it does
A call, a voicemail, then a text
for everyone on your list.
First-time visitors, called while they remember
A visitor card is worth something for about a week. The agent calls within a day or two, answers what they ask from your own material, and texts the details — instead of the card sitting in a tray until Thursday.
Christmas, Easter and seasonal invitations
The two services people actually come back for, plus programmes like vacation Bible school and retreats. Call and text the whole list about two weeks out, and collect real numbers.
A voicemail in a voice they know
When nobody picks up, they hear a familiar staff voice rather than a synthetic one. On one campaign that was 966 of the calls, and it is the part people respond to.
Text follows every voicemail
Most people reply by text rather than calling back. Call and text are one thread with shared memory, so nobody has to explain themselves twice.
Your staff step into the same thread
Anyone from the office can pick up a conversation the agent started, from the church's own number. Pastoral conversations stay with people — the campaign just finds out who needs one.
A list of who needs a person
Someone in difficulty, a visitor with questions, a member who has quietly stopped coming. These are flagged with what they actually said, so your staff call the people where a call matters.
Works with the tools you already run on.
Export your people from Planning Center, Breeze, Pushpay, Tithely or Realm. Registrations stay on your own links.
We claim no live sync with any of these. Ask and we will tell you plainly what connects and what does not. Systems commonly used by churches & parishes: Planning Center · Breeze ChMS · Pushpay / Church Community Builder · Tithely · Realm · Google Sheets / CSV export. Exact read/write scope is confirmed during onboarding.

How it works
Running before
this Sunday.
01
Send us the list
Visitor cards, your roll, or a CSV from Planning Center, Breeze or Pushpay. We clean it and report what we removed before any call.
02
Record one voicemail, approve the script
A familiar staff voice records a short message. You approve every word the agent says. It calls on behalf of the church and says so.
03
Run it, then make the calls that matter
Calls go out inside your window. Your staff get a short list of people who need a person, with the context from the call.
The alternatives
Bulletin, phone tree,
or a real conversation.
| Email / bulletin | Volunteer phone tree | AutoCallFlow | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reaches the whole list | If they open it | Breaks at whoever does not answer | Yes — call, voicemail, then text |
| Reaches members who do not text | No | Yes, slowly | Yes — voice first, text second |
| Can they reply? | Into an inbox | To that volunteer | Voice or text, one thread |
| Visitor follow-up speed | Whenever the office gets to it | Depends who is free | Within a day or two, every time |
| Pastoral calls | Not applicable | The volunteer’s strength | Flagged to your staff with context |
| Who does the work | Your staff | Your volunteers | Managed — we clean, script, watch and report |
We do not process giving or issue tickets. People register through your own links, which we send by text.

Asked before
you buy anything.
These are your own people hearing from their own church. On a comparable congregation campaign, members chatted with the agent and several thanked it, and many replied by text afterwards. Anyone who asks not to be called again is removed the same day.

Every call that goes to voicemail is a job someone else is about to get. Put something on the end of the line tonight.
