## About

Connect Saints helps churches, ministries, faith-based organizations, and nonprofits communicate with members through normal SMS text messages and email. Leaders use the web app; members do not need to install an app. Messages can be sent from dedicated phone numbers assigned to groups such as Elders Quorum, Relief Society, youth groups, ministry teams, activity committees, or other organization groups.

Member replies are private to leaders, not broadcast to the whole group. This makes Connect Saints different from ordinary group chats where every reply goes to everyone and personal phone numbers are exposed.
