Everything Your Church Needs

One system that covers all administrative needs — no juggling data between tools.

Members

Complete profiles with photos, phone, family, and leadership. Quick search.

QR Check-in

One permanent QR per branch. The right service is picked automatically, and check-in is only accepted while the service is on.

Recurring Schedule

Set it once — Sunday, Wednesday, Friday. The system generates a full year of services on its own.

Giving & Tithes

Record offerings, tithes, pledges. Auto-generated PDF receipts.

Expenses

Approval workflow — secretary requests, pastor approves, with audit trail.

Departments

Youth, women, choir — each department has its own portal, giving, and expenses.

Zones & Deacons

Geographic groupings, track pastoral visits and deacon assignments.

Member Portal

Sign in with a one-time SMS code — no password. Members see their giving, attendance, schedule, and receipts, and can download statements.

Live Streaming

Connect YouTube, Facebook Live, church radio or TV — members watch right inside their portal.

Prayer Campaigns

21, 7, 3 or 1-day fasts. Daily prayer points go out by SMS/WhatsApp, and members tick "I prayed".

Public Events

Seminars and conferences appear in the portal, on a public page, and in an embeddable widget for your own website.

Reports

Financial, attendance, growth — fast PDF/Excel exports.

SMS Notifications

Bulk SMS to groups, with your own TCRA-approved sender ID.

WhatsApp for Church

Send statements, receipts and picture announcements. When a member replies, their message lands in the church inbox instead of vanishing.

Contacts

Seminar visitors, parents, donors — import their numbers from CSV and message them by SMS or WhatsApp without mixing them into your membership.

Members on WhatsApp

A member types "giving", "schedule" or "bible" to the church number and gets an instant answer — no link, no app.

Announcements & Bible Plan

Enter this week's announcements and your church's Bible reading plan — members get them on WhatsApp.

Fundraising

Goal-based campaigns, member pledges, live progress tracking.

Visitors

A visitor who signs up gets an automatic welcome SMS, and converts to a full member in one click.

Leadership

Pastors, leaders, and their duty calendars all in one place.

13 Roles & Permissions

Admin, pastor, treasurer, secretary, dept/zone leaders and more.

NEW · FOR MEMBERS

Members Get Everything on WhatsApp — No Links, No App

Most members don't remember passwords or tap links. Now they simply message the church's WhatsApp number and the system answers on its own — this week's announcements, the Bible reading, their giving, and more.

  • A member types "Habari" — or one word like "giving", "schedule" or "bible" — and gets an answer instantly, any time of day
  • The system recognises them by phone number; only they see their own records
  • Anything it doesn't understand lands in the church inbox for a real person to answer
  • No credit is used: the member starts the conversation
  • You enter the announcements and Bible reading plan, and choose which items appear on the menu
  • Runs on your church's own WhatsApp number — we help you connect it

MEMBER PORTAL

Every Member Gets an Account — With No Password

A member enters their phone number, gets a code by SMS, and they are in. They see their own giving, attendance, and service schedule, and can download their receipts and statements themselves — without asking the secretary.

  • Sign in with an SMS code — no password to forget
  • A full year of services — today, tomorrow, and the weeks ahead
  • Receipts and giving statements to download anytime
  • Live services, church radio and TV inside the portal
  • Daily prayer points during a fast — they tick "I prayed"
  • They update their own profile and phone number
Codes expire in minutes, and each member sees only their own data.

  • A QR code to put up in the hall, and a payment link to send by WhatsApp or SMS
  • Money goes into the church's own account — we never hold your funds
  • Connects to the member portal and the /toa giving page — every gift is recorded automatically and the giver gets a receipt
