About the Communiti SMS Program

Program Operator: communiti.life, PBC

Effective Date: May 30, 2026

Communiti is a communication platform used by churches, schools, and nonprofit organizations to share announcements with people who have explicitly opted in to receive them. These terms govern the SMS messages Communiti sends on behalf of those organizations.

How You Opt In

You opt in to receive SMS messages from a specific organization by texting a keyword (such as PRAYERS, YOUTH, or CAMP) to the phone number that the organization has shared with you. The keyword and number are typically printed on bulletins, posted on the organization’s website, or announced in person.

When you text the keyword you will receive a welcome message confirming your subscription and asking how you would like to receive updates (text, voice, or email).

By texting the keyword, you are providing express written consent to receive future SMS messages from that organization via Communiti. Consent is not required as a condition of purchasing any goods or services.

Message Frequency

Message frequency varies by organization and program. Typical programs send 1–10 messages per week. Some programs (e.g. youth camp updates, prayer requests) may send more during active events.

Cost

Communiti does not charge subscribers for sending or receiving messages. However, Msg & Data Rates May Apply based on your wireless carrier and plan. Check with your wireless provider for details.

Opt-Out & Help

Supported Carriers

The Communiti SMS program is compatible with major US wireless carriers including AT&T, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, Sprint, U.S. Cellular, MetroPCS, Boost Mobile, Cricket, and others. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Privacy

Information collected through the SMS program — your phone number, opt-in record, message preferences — is handled according to our Privacy Policy.

Personal information collected through our SMS program will not be shared with third parties for marketing purposes. We share your information only with the specific organization whose keyword you used to opt in, and with service providers (such as Twilio) required to deliver the messages you have consented to receive.

Additional Terms

Use of the Communiti platform — including the SMS program — is also subject to our Terms of Service.
