What Engage Spot is
Engage Spot is a web platform that connects church texting and email with events, forms, topics, teams, people records, and a church website. Teams can schedule messages to groups or individuals and keep replies with contact history. Forms cover connection cards, prayer requests, baptism, small groups, and volunteering. Churches can publish event information, accept registrations, send confirmations, and schedule updates for registrants. Members and visitors can use event pages and forms to register, subscribe, receive messages, and reply without downloading an app. Higher listed plans offer 1,500 segments for $99 a month, 3,000 for $199 a month, or 7,500 for $299 a month. Extra SMS segments cost $0.05 per segment, and a long text may use multiple segments.
