Maintaining contact with members of a church or synagogue is now a much easier task with our church phone announcement services.
Church announcements to all or part of your congregation can be automatically broadcast with the same, consistent message from our automatic message broadcasting system. Messages can be sent immediately to all of your congregation so that important events such as funeral announcements can be broadcast to everyone at once. Simply record your church announcements online and download your list of members who are to receive this message. We'll take care of the rest. You can even schedule the calls yourself.
DSC also provides answering services that let you record your own announcements and events and play these messages to callers from anywhere in the country.
Outbound call messages can be played to a member or left on an answering machine. The member could make selections from a menu or leave a message for the church. If the member needs to talk with a church representative, the message can be programmed to allow a "Press 1...." option and the call will be transferred to one or more designated phone numbers. Here are a few examples of how our automated phone system can benefit your organization.

Automatic Message Service
Automatic phone notification services and systems are becoming very popular and affordable these days. Instead of relying on word of mouth or publications which are quickly out of date and expensive, automatic phone messaging lets you contact your congregration instantly! Here are just a few of the benefits and applications for this economical service.
- Contacting Members Who Are At Home Sick or Disabled
- Everyone, Even if at Church, May Not Read the Bulletin
- Not Everyone is at Church and May not Get An Important Message
- Contacting New Members For Orientation
- Following Up With Visitors In A Timely Manner
- Reach Everyone for Funeral Announcements
- Communicating With Church Members On a Timely Basis
- Getting Out Fast Announcements for Special Meetings
- Coordinating with Church Volunteers
- Church Growth Programs to Increase Members
Church Notification Phone Calls
- Church Communication Message
- This is a basic call where the phone system dials from a list and plays one standard church message either to an individual or to an answering machine. No agent or volunteer is required to talk with the contacted household member who in turn simply listens to the message.
This technique could be useful when you wish to simply provide brief but clear messages and contact as many households as possible with messages such as church funeral announcements, church fundraisers, church wedding announcements, call for church volunteers, and church activity notifications.
- Announcement Message and Touchphone Responses
- This method expands the prior call technique by playing a church message that gives the contacted individual options from which to select. Using touchphone responses such as "Press 1 for...", the choices could include obtaining additional information, leaving a voice message, or simply terminating the call.
A different message can be left on an answering machine or the answering machine could be ignored completely. Although more complex than the prior call types, this form of message dialing does not require that an individual from the church be available to handle this call.
- Notification Message and Call Transfer
- This is similar to the prior call technique but with the option to transfer the call to a third party phone number. Again, using touchphone responses the contacted individual can request that the call be transferred to another person or organization. The phone system dials another number and when contact is made with the third party or different phone system, the call is transferred.
This is effective when you need to get some form of feedback from the called individual such as a volunteer.
Database Systems can provide any type of church calling program required by your organization and can even blend several different types based upon the nature of your church message notification system and your desired contact method.
