SlickText is super easy to use and effective for my organization! It's a fast and easy way to get information to church members who want to hear about ways to serve the community but won't always see an email in time.

SlickText makes it easy to reach the masses. My church campus needed a better communication system than private Facebook groups and group chats. I love that people can message back for free and it can keep their questions private.
