Your church, on WhatsApp.

Reach members where they already are — and let them reach you, with no link and no app to install.

WhatsApp runs on the official Meta Cloud API and comes with the Growth plan.

What's inside

21 modules, one platform.

Turn on what your church needs and leave the rest. Everything is connected — a member, their giving, their attendance and their department all in one place.

Members · Washirika

Full profiles with photo, phone, family and leadership roles — with fast search.

QR check-in

One permanent QR code per branch. The service is picked automatically, and check-in only opens during the service.

Recurring schedules · Ratiba

Set it once — Sunday, Wednesday, Friday — and the system creates the whole year's services for you.

Giving · Sadaka & Zaka

Record offerings, tithes and pledges, with automatic PDF receipts.

Expenses · Matumizi

An approval workflow — the secretary requests, the pastor approves — with a full audit trail.

Departments · Idara

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

Zones & Deacons · Shemasi

Organise members geographically and follow pastoral and deacon work zone by zone.

Member portal

Members sign in with an SMS code — no password — to see their giving, attendance, schedule and receipts.

Live services · Ibada Mubashara

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

Prayer fasts · Mifungo

21, 7, 3 or 1-day fasts, with each day's prayer sent by SMS or WhatsApp.

Public events · Matukio

Seminars and conferences appear on the portal, a public page, and a widget for your church website.

Reports · Ripoti

Financial, attendance and growth reports — export to PDF or Excel in seconds.

SMS notifications

Send SMS to groups — with your own TCRA sender ID on the Growth plan.

Church WhatsApp

Send notices, receipts and image announcements. When a member replies, it lands in the church inbox.

Contacts

Seminar guests, parents, donors — import their numbers by CSV and reach them by SMS or WhatsApp.

Members on WhatsApp

A member messages the church number and gets an answer instantly — no link, no app.

Announcements & Bible reading

Post weekly announcements and your church's Bible-reading plan — members receive them on WhatsApp.

Fundraising

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

Visitors · Wageni

A visitor who registers gets an automatic welcome SMS, and becomes a member in one click.

Leadership · Uongozi

Pastors, leaders and the calendar of their duties.

13 roles & permissions

Admin, pastor, treasurer, secretary, department and zone leaders and more — everyone sees only what they should.

WhatsApp features come with the Growth plan. On Basic and Starter, SMS can be added separately.

New · QR self-registration

Let people register themselves — no printing.

Put one QR code at the church door, in your WhatsApp group or on a poster. Visitors and members fill in their own details from their phone, and every entry lands straight in your system. No paper forms, no typing them up later.

  • One QR code — at the door, in WhatsApp groups or on posters
  • People register from their own phone — no app needed
  • Visitors get an automatic welcome SMS

FAQ

Questions churches ask.

Which plan is right for our church? +

It depends on your membership: Basic is for churches with up to 250 members (TZS 25,000/month), Starter for 251–750 members (TZS 55,000/month), and Growth for more than 750 members or several branches (TZS 120,000/month). Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial, and paying yearly gives you 2 months free.

Is SMS included? +

No — SMS is bought separately, in whatever quantity your church needs, at TZS 18 per 160-character SMS. The Growth plan adds SMS reminders, group messaging and your own TCRA sender ID.

Can members give online? +

Yes. Members can give by phone inside their portal — Snippe, Selcom, M-Pesa or Lipa Namba — and the money goes straight into the church's own account. We guide you step by step through opening a Snippe account at no charge; Snippe takes 2.5% per successful payment, with no monthly fee.

Can it handle multiple branches? +

Yes, on the Growth plan. Three branches are included free, each with its own portal, and the parent church can see and edit all of them. Extra branches are TZS 10,000/month each, added to the parent church's invoice.

Do members need smartphones? +

No. Leadership runs the system. Members who want the portal sign in with a code sent by SMS — no password. On the Growth plan, members can also simply message the church's WhatsApp number and get their information back instantly, with no app to install.

Is our church data private? +

Completely. Hakuna kanisa lingine linaweza kuona washirika wako, sadaka, au matumizi. Each church runs on its own database — no other church can ever see your members, giving or expenses.

What language is the system in? +

Kiswahili first, with an English switch for anyone who prefers it. It was built in Swahili from the ground up — not translated.

Can we import our existing member list? +

Yes — import by Excel or CSV, and we'll help with setup if you need a hand.

Can we export our data? +

Always. Data ni mali yako, sio yetu. Your data is yours — export to Excel or PDF whenever you want.

Who owns Kanisa MS? +

Netpoa Limited, a Tanzanian company — the same team behind Netpoa hosting, PoaSMS and Sanya Business.
