Just like various industries, churches have also been forced to shift the way they gather due to COVID-19. While it was once impossible, churches are also now able to meet virtually in order to complete different functions of their service and meetings. With so many churches already using Trumpia prior to the global pandemic, we encourage any church looking for a new way of communicating and accomplishing logistical tasks to try out SMS texting today for their church. Here are some possible ways you can use Trumpia. 1. Send and fill out COVID-19 [SMS surveys](https://www.trumpia.com/industry_solutions/text-message-surveys-for-churches) as a screening questionnaire digitally through SMS texting before your congregants enter your church service or activity. 2. Promote online events and sign ups for events and meetings such as discipleship meetings, virtual zoom services, and more! 3. Encourage tithes and offerings by integrating with other applications that allow you to collect money. For example, with tithing shifting to online, include a link to your website that has ways people can donate! 4. Create [text keywords](https://www.trumpia.com/industry_solutions/text-keywords-for-churches) that can allow people to sign up for the right mailing list divided by different ministries - youth, worship, welcoming, childcare, etc.  5. Send [multimedia messages](https://www.trumpia.com/industry_solutions/mms-picture-messaging-for-churches) that are engaging and encouraging. These can include videos with devotionals, encouragements, and event promotions.  6. Have one on one messages with anyone that might need help, prayer, or comfort during these difficult times. Send real time messages to people who desperately need a response.  7. Set your campaign on autopilot by creating [automated messages](https://www.trumpia.com/industry_solutions/automated-text-messaging-for-churches) that will be sent out at designated times or when triggered by a certain action.  8. [Collect data](https://www.trumpia.com/industry_solutions/sms-data-capture-for-churches) that can help gauge interest, concerns, or helpful information for events moving forward. Send surveys, polls, and questionnaires to get fast and accurate answers.  --- While many people associate SMS texting with businesses and corporations, our services can easily be reimagined for any use case. We encourage you to read about the various use cases and testimonials from all of the churches that use our service!
