Who is behind congrega?

congrega is built by a developer who is active in a congregation themselves. The platform is shaped from real, day-to-day use — in close exchange with the first congregations who put it to work.

Where is data stored?

It is your choice. With congrega Online, data lives on servers within the EU, GDPR-compliant and without tracking. With congrega Local, it lives on your own hardware on your premises — personal data then never leaves the building. Many congregations prefer exactly that.

Do I need technical know-how?

No. The platform runs in your browser — on a computer or on a phone. If you can write an email, you can use congrega.

What if the maps don’t fit my needs?

Every order starts with a free trial print. Nothing is charged until you’re happy with the result — otherwise there are no costs.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes. Management is billed yearly and only renews if you want it to. You can request an export of your data at any time.

Does this work with OpenStreetMap data?

Yes. All maps are generated from current OpenStreetMap data — including street names, house numbers, and building outlines. Whenever the data changes, maps can be regenerated at any time.

How do I print the territory maps?

You receive a print-ready PDF at the correct scale. Print it yourself or order it from a print shop. Every order starts with a free trial print.

Which file formats can I import?

Existing territory data can be imported in KML, GeoJSON, CSV and other formats — typically from Google Earth, QGIS, spreadsheets, or exports from other tools.

Can we work entirely without the cloud and internet?

Yes. With congrega Local the whole territory management runs on your own hardware on your local network on-site. Day-to-day work needs no internet connection and no cloud service — personal data stays entirely with you.

What does the local edition with hardware and setup cost?

congrega Local is offered broken down by line item: license, updates and maintenance, preconfigured hardware, and on-site setup. Since hardware and effort vary per site, we prepare a custom quote — just drop us a short message.

Can we switch from Online to Local later?

Yes. Both editions use the same software, so switching is possible at any time. Existing data can be carried over, so you can move from the online solution to the local edition without losing anything (and vice versa).

How many groups can I create?

As many as you like. You can mirror your group structure exactly as your congregation is organised.

Can a publisher be in several groups?

Assignment is per publisher and can be changed at any time. We help during setup so the structure fits your congregation.

Do group overseers only see their group?

Roles and permissions control who sees what, so a group overseer can be scoped to their group.

Are districts the same as groups?

No — groups bundle publishers, districts organise territories. Both can be combined and viewed separately in reports.

Groups & Districts — Organise Publishers and Territories

Organise publishers into groups, structure territories into districts — and keep reports and overdue territories per group in view.

Larger congregations in particular work in groups and districts. congrega mirrors that structure: publishers are assigned to groups, territories can be organised by district, and reports can be viewed per group. That keeps overseers and group overseers in the loop — without separate lists for every group.

Publishers in groups

Create groups and assign publishers to them. Members can be added, removed, or moved to another group at any time. So congrega reflects how the congregation is actually organised, and reports become meaningful at the group level.

Territories by district

Territories can be assigned to districts or regions. This helps with targeted assignment, planning the work, and filtering overviews — for example, to see which districts are well covered and which haven’t been worked in a while.

Overdue territories per group

congrega shows overdue territories not only overall but also per group. Group overseers instantly see where follow-up is needed in their area, without combing through the whole congregation.

Reporting at the group level

Statistics and overviews can be filtered by group and district. That reveals how territory work is distributed across the congregation and where support would help.
