The Leaky Bucket

Most Churches Lose 80% of First-Time Visitors

They visit, feel welcome, and then never hear from you again. Not because you don't care — but because follow-up is manual, inconsistent, and falls through the cracks.

80%

of first-time visitors never return

response time = 10× higher engagement

more likely to become members with consistent follow-up

The System

How StewardReach Works

1

Guest Scans & Registers

Your QR code or share link captures their name, phone, and visit date in seconds.

2

T+0 Welcome Text Fires

The moment they submit, they get a personal welcome SMS. Within 5 minutes — not next week.

3

Automated Sequence Runs

9 touchpoints across SMS and email — pre-visit reminders, day-of check-in, post-visit follow-up.

4

Pastor Gets Coached

Action items surface the right guests at the right time with suggested messages ready to send.

The Guest Pipeline

Every Guest. Every Stage. Automated.

Discovered

Guest finds your church online or through a referral

Built for Pastors

Everything You Need to Never Lose a Guest

T+0 Welcome SMS

The instant a guest submits their visit request, a personal welcome text goes out. First contact within seconds, not days.

Automated Sequences

Pre-visit reminders, day-of check-ins, and a 6-step post-visit follow-up — all scheduled automatically, no manual work.

QR Codes & Share Links

Put a QR code in your bulletin or on your sign. Guests register in under 60 seconds from their phone.

Pastor Action Items

Each week, your dashboard surfaces who to call, text, or invite — with suggested messages pre-written for you.

Two-Way SMS Confirmations

Guests reply YES to confirm their visit. Twilio webhook handles it automatically and updates their record.

Pipeline Analytics

See exactly where guests are in your 7-stage pipeline. Spot drop-off, track conversion, measure what works.

No-Show Recovery

When someone misses their planned visit, a compassionate re-engagement sequence fires automatically on Monday.

StewardMAX Handoff

When a guest becomes a member, one click exports their full profile to StewardMAX for member management.

Auto Stage Advancement

Guests move through the pipeline automatically as they attend, join groups, and complete milestones.

What Ministry Leaders Say

Our first Sunday, three visitors got a welcome text before they even reached the parking lot. We've never connected that fast before.

PA

Pastor Angela R.

The action items are the killer feature. Monday morning I open my dashboard and know exactly who to call and what to say.

BM

Bishop Marcus T.

We stopped losing guests in the gap between their first and second visit. The 2-week nudge sequence alone brought back four families.
