About St. Luke’s Methodist
St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, based in Houston, Texas, is a whole family of ministries, united by one vision: A City Transformed by the Love of Jesus, and works hard to serve its congregation and community members as best they can. But without effective communication abilities to handleall incoming calls orremote access to their phone lines, church leaders find that building stronger relations becomes much more challenging than it sounds.
St. Luke’s came to Intulse needing a solution for theirchurch phone systems. The results? Well, see for yourself.
Executive Summary:
Like many religious organizations,St. Luke’s United Methodist Churchof Houston, Texas, had been searching for a way to better communicate with their congregation and community members after years of using expensive and outdated church VoIP provider (Voice over Internet Protocol).
To help them improve their performance and enhance their communication, they connect with Intulse to revamp their VoIP solution, create a unified communication system, and provide a better experience for church employees and members alike.
The Challenge:
St. Luke’s had the intention of providing a seamless and responsive communication experience for their members. Yet, the church phone tree utilized old handsets that were failing and incompatible with their other software. Because of this, the team couldn’t log calls, use their church phone remotely, or leverage personal mobile phones internally.
After learning about Intulse’s integrations and the ways theirchurch VoIPintegrated with other software, specificallyRock RMS, St. Luke’s was ready to make the change and engage with Intulse. With over 15 years of experience, St. Luke’s trusted Intulse’s reputation and experience working with other churches much like theirs.
The Solution:
St. Luke’s church employees wanted features that offeredmobility, database integration, the ability to connect/re-use current phones, and anentire support teamwithin their new setup. Intulse provided just that.

Theirexperience with Intulse’s support team was top-notch, and Intulse offered a willingness to troubleshoot and train the team, even ‘after hours’.
In the past, St. Luke’s had often been left with a ‘figure it out yourself’ response from vendors; however, Intulse consistently went above and beyond to meet their complex communication needs – and still does.
The Results:
After working with Intulse, St. Luke’s saved money right away. From the start, their monthly telecom costs went down, and they saved time fromnot having to troubleshoot their phone lines.

“Intulse is a great VoIP solution that works great with our Rock DB Software Installation. Intulse also has great customer service – we know our Techs by name. We don’t have to worry about all the technical setup when we need to add an extension or DID – they do everything! We have worked well with the Intulse team, even with our morecomplicated ring-throughsandmultiple line setups. I personally like thevirtual phone appthat works on my mobile device. I can answer my desk phone calls andcheck voicemail messagesanywhere. I strongly suggest you give them a try, especially if you have and are using the Rock.”
