Kongreg8

(Church Databases made easy)

A church is all about people, so why should the member's database be anything else?

I want to have coffee and cake, not search for post-it's...

Kongreg8 is an online database application developed to reduce the administration overhead for churches. Using any computer/mobile phone connected to the Internet you can store, edit and retrieve up-to-date information about your church members and contact them directly.

Kongreg8 was developed to provide a central information store for churches, negating the need to contact office staff to look for member information. Many churches simply store information on paper or in spreadsheets that quickly become out-of-date which makes the task of finding the latest contact details for a member almost impossible.

Many 'computer solutions' you will be offered require a single computer in the office to be used as the central store, which still means you're tied to contacting your office staff when you're out of the building.

Why would you want to be chained to your desk when you're meeting your church for a coffee?

I want to know we're growing and shout it from the roof...

With Kongreg8 you can instantly find information and update member details from several locations, saving time and needless phonecalls back to the office. Once information is stored in the database, reports and statistics are available instantly on your member data. Find out how many people you have in the system, the number you have in certain age-brackets, how many new members you've had each month and who they are!

Contact new members the week after they've turned up to church and assign them to groups in their area to keep them connected to the life of the church.

View your statistics in graphical or tabular form, derived live from your member data. Don't spend hours trying to construct a graph from spreadsheet data when you can have the software automatically provide them.

Manage groups of members and contact them directly from the same system - no need to transfer addresses across to your email application to contact groups or individual members.
