Traditional email tools (Mailchimp, Constant Contact, and older church software) charge hundreds of dollars every month just to store your contact list—even for guests who only visited once. Outreach ONE gives you unlimited contacts on the Premium Plan so your budget goes toward ministry, not software fees.
Based on expensive contact list tiers and forced upgrades.
Includes 4 weekly broadcasts to all contacts at true pay-as-you-go pricing ($0.0014 per email).

Included in the Outreach ONE Premium Plan. Whether you are sending the weekly sermon recap, rallying volunteers, or welcoming new families, Outreach ONE makes church communications effortless.
Choose the perfect format for every ministry moment: visual drag-and-drop designer (WYSIWYG) with AI visuals and countdowns, simple plain-text letter mode for personal pastoral notes that boost reply rates, or custom raw HTML code for designers.
Never stare at a blank screen. Ask AI drafts inspiring weekly sermon recaps, compelling subject lines, volunteer rally calls, and seasonal announcements with a warm, pastoral tone in seconds.
Choose from pre-made, mobile-responsive church templates designed for Sunday bulletins, holiday worship invites, youth camp registrations, and stewardship reports.
See exactly how many members opened your email, which specific links they clicked (sermon streams, sign-ups, or giving), and whether they read on mobile or desktop—so you know what your congregation engages with most.
When someone replies to your email, it sits directly next to their text messages, Sunday connect forms, and social DMs. Ask AI suggests compassionate, instant reply drafts for pastoral staff to send in one tap.
Maximize your inbox placement. Outreach ONE automatically cleans up invalid addresses and protects your domain reputation so your announcements have the best chance to reach your members.
We handle the technical deliverability best practices behind the scenes so your sermon announcements, prayer updates, and event invites achieve strong, consistent inbox placement.
When you send an email to hundreds or thousands of members at once, services like Gmail, Apple Mail, and Yahoo look closely at sender reputation. Outreach ONE automatically maintains top sender health and adjusts delivery speeds so your Sunday messages arrive on time with a 99.8% average inbox delivery rate.
Send authentic emails from your church's domain (e.g., [email protected]). When a member replies, their response appears right inside their unified member timeline—sitting seamlessly alongside their text messages, Sunday connect forms, prayer requests, and Facebook/Instagram DMs. Pastors can see the full story of each person and reply via email or text (or forward straight to personal email).

Clear answers on church email pricing, list management, and everyday setup.
To protect your church from surprise bills and expensive monthly subscription tiers, high-volume messaging draws from a small prepaid wallet. When your balance gets low, it automatically tops up with a convenient amount (like $10) so your Sunday morning emails and reminder texts never stop.
Mass email is included with the Outreach ONE Premium Plan ($97/mo, or $50/mo for your first 3 months with coupon code). Unlike other platforms that charge more as your church grows, you get unlimited contacts and members. Email sends cost just $1.40 for every 1,000 emails sent ($0.0014 each), saving medium-to-large churches hundreds of dollars every month.
Usage fees are deducted automatically from your prepaid digital wallet. For full details on usage rates and settings, check our Premium Pricing Plans or our Wallet Guide.
Yes, absolutely! Your emails will display your church's official name and web address (like [email protected]). Our simple guided setup ensures your emails look professional and pass all modern spam security checks with Google, Yahoo, and Apple.
Yes! In addition to your church's official mass broadcast domain (e.g., [email protected]), each individual pastoral staff member can link their personal Google Workspace (Gmail) or Microsoft 365 (Outlook) account under Settings > Profile. This activates seamless 2-Way Email Sync (1 per user seat), allowing 1-on-1 pastoral counseling, volunteer follow-ups, and personal prayer replies to sync bidirectionally between their personal email inbox and the church CRM.
When sending large email campaigns or launching a new church email domain, inbox providers (Gmail, Yahoo, Apple Mail) closely monitor sending volume surges. Outreach ONE offers 3 Sending Modes: Send Now, Scheduled Send, and Batch Mode (Drip Sending). Batch Mode allows you to send in gradual increments (such as 5 to 20 emails every 5 minutes, scaling up to 100+ over time) to establish pristine domain reputation, warm up your email line, and ensure weekly announcements land in member inboxes rather than spam.
Replies automatically land in your unified Outreach ONE Conversations Inbox. When you open a member's record, their email reply sits right next to their text messages, Sunday connect forms, prayer requests, and Facebook/Instagram direct messages. Your pastoral team can see their complete communication history with that person and reply back via email or text. You can also configure optional email forwarding if you prefer responses sent straight to a personal Gmail or Outlook address.
Yes! You can import your entire congregation directory and visitor lists via a spreadsheet (CSV) in seconds. You can keep all your member tags (like "Small Group Leaders", "Sunday Volunteers", or "Youth Parents") so you don't lose any connection history.
Outreach ONE gives your church complete creative freedom with three distinct editor modes tailored for different communication needs:
[email protected]). Plain-text emails feel authentic, bypass promotional email tabs, and generate significantly higher response rates.The Ask AI Assistant acts as your church's 24/7 writing and design assistant built directly into the email builder. Pastors and administrators can:
Yes! You do not need technical skills to build complex multi-step assimilation journeys. Inside Automation Workflows, you can simply describe what you want in plain English (e.g., "When a visitor fills out our digital connect card, send an instant welcome email, wait 2 days to send a pastor check-in text, and wait 1 week to invite them to coffee"). Ask AI automatically creates the entire trigger logic, timing delays, and message drafts for you.
Yes, absolutely! If you want a smooth, guided start without technical hassle, you can add our optional $197 Onboarding Setup Service.
Our dedicated technical specialists will handle the complete setup for your church:
You can select this optional service during checkout or add it anytime via our Onboarding Setup Guide.
Unlike standalone email tools that operate in a silo, Outreach ONE unifies all your church communication channels in a single contact timeline. When a pastor views any member or guest profile, they see the complete interaction history: emails sent and opened, SMS text reminders and replies, digital connect card form submissions, and direct messages from social media. This allows your team to communicate with one person across multiple channels seamlessly from one screen.
