When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.
Why Barnabas?
Joseph of Cyprus was renamed Barnabas — “Son of Encouragement” — by the apostles themselves. When Paul came to Jerusalem as a new believer and nobody trusted him, Barnabas was the one who took him in (Acts 9:27). When the church in Antioch was flooded with new Gentile converts, they sent Barnabas — because he knew how to welcome people no one else would.
That's exactly what your guest follow-up team is trying to do every Sunday. Barnabas gives them the tools to do it — for every single person who walks through your doors.
Features
Built for the way real churches receive guests — not a CRM, not a spreadsheet. A system built for people.
Beautiful digital connection cards guests fill out on their phone. No paper, no data entry — every response lands instantly in Barnabas.
A personal text goes out within minutes of a guest submitting their card. Warm, genuine, written in your voice — not a generic autoresponder.
See every guest's full timeline — when they visited, when they responded, what step they're on, and what's next. Nobody falls through the cracks.
Barnabas drafts follow-up messages based on how the guest found you, their family situation, and their interests — so every message feels hand-written.
Your connection pastor gets notified the moment a guest responds, goes quiet for too long, or hits a milestone — so the human touch happens at exactly the right moment.
Track every guest from first visit to membership class to baptism. Know who's ready for the next step before they even ask.
How It Works
A guest who gets a text within minutes of leaving feels remembered. Barnabas makes that happen every single Sunday.
Your connection card lives on your website, in your bulletin QR code, or on a tablet at the door. Takes 30 seconds to fill out.
A personalized text or email goes out within minutes — before they even get home. Barnabas handles the timing, the tone, and the next step.
When a guest responds, your connection pastor gets an alert. When someone goes quiet, Barnabas flags them. Every hand-off happens at exactly the right time.
