That Family That Visited 3 Weeks Ago...
Did Anyone Follow Up?

It's not a people problem. It's a systems problem. Here's what's happening in most churches right now:

📋

Connection Cards Pile Up

Visitor cards collected Sunday morning sit on a desk until Tuesday. By then, the moment is gone — and so are they.

📵

Manual Follow-Up Fails

Your staff are volunteers. Life gets in the way. Manual follow-up depends on someone remembering — and they forget.

🚶

Visitors Don't Come Back

Research shows visitors who don't hear from your church within 48 hours have a 90% chance of not returning.

💔

You Care — But Can't Scale It

A pastor with 150 weekly visitors can't personally text every one. That's exactly what Shepherd OS is for.

Simple for You.
Personal for Them.

Shepherd OS runs quietly every Sunday — so your visitors never feel forgotten.

1

Visitor Fills Out Your Digital Card

A simple form via QR code on your bulletin or screen — takes 30 seconds.

2

Shepherd OS Activates Instantly

The moment they submit, the system triggers — no manual step needed from your team.

A Personal Text in 5 Minutes

"Hi Sarah! Pastor Marcus wanted to personally reach out. We're so glad you joined us today 🙏"

4

30 Days of Follow-Up — Automatic

Texts and emails continue for 30 days — inviting them back, building real relationship.

Real Churches. Real Sundays. Real Results.

This is what follow-up looks like when a system handles it — not good intentions.

What Pastors Are Saying
After Their First Sunday

From small congregations to growing multi-service churches — here's what they experienced.

A family visited three times and nobody followed up. By the time I found their card, they were already going somewhere else. That broke my heart. Shepherd OS closed that gap permanently. First Sunday, 4 visitors got texts before I even got to the parking lot.

We had the best intentions but the worst follow-through. Within the first Sunday using Shepherd OS, three visitors replied to their welcome texts. One of them said "We didn't expect to hear from you so quickly — we'll be back." She is now a member.

I didn't even know automated texting was possible for churches without a huge tech budget. Setup took less than a day. Now our visitors hear from us before we've even finished cleaning up the sanctuary.

Everything You Need to Know
Before You Start

Do I need any tech experience to use Shepherd OS?

None. When you sign up, we set the entire system up for you as part of the Ministry Launch Package. You get a 30-minute welcome call where we walk you through how everything works. All you need is a smartphone to see it running.

How does the 5-minute text actually work?

When a visitor fills out your digital connection card (a QR code we provide for your bulletin or screen), Shepherd OS detects the new contact and sends a personalized text automatically — with your church's name and your pastor's name — within 5 minutes of submission.

Can I customize the messages to sound like our church?

Yes — all messages are fully editable in your dashboard. During your welcome call, we help you personalize every message so they sound exactly like your pastor's voice. Most churches change 3-4 words per message and leave the rest.

What is the Ministry Launch Package?

It's a one-time $197 fee that covers the full system setup: we configure all your workflows, load your church's name and pastor information, connect your phone number, and test everything end-to-end before you go live. You don't touch a single setting.

What's the 30-day guarantee?

If within 30 days you don't feel Shepherd OS is helping your church follow up with visitors better, email us at [email protected] for a full refund of your subscription. No questions asked.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No contracts. Cancel anytime from your account dashboard. Your system stays active through the end of your paid period.

What if a visitor doesn't fill out a card?

The system works with the data it receives. We'll show you how to encourage digital card completion during your service — most churches see 60-80% completion when they show the QR code on their screen during announcements.

Your Next First-Time Visitor
Is Coming This Sunday.

You can have Shepherd OS live before they walk through your doors. We set everything up for you — no tech skills, no guesswork, no dropped balls.
