Everyone you serve,
known by name
Churches, residential estates and NGOs share a problem: a lot of people, a few stretched leaders, and follow-up that only happens when somebody remembers. Origamy keeps the records and does the remembering.
Know every member
by name
Membership, ministries, attendance and follow-up in one place, so every leader knows who to reach this week and no one is quietly missed.
Origamy for Church runs on the same platform as the rest of Origamy: forms, email, SMS and WhatsApp, segments, journeys, broadcasts, tasks and reporting. It speaks your church’s own language, with your structure, your ministries and your records on top.
Four things,
done properly
The parts of church administration that quietly eat a Tuesday, and the follow-up that otherwise only happens when somebody remembers.
Your structure, as it actually is
A first visit becomes a member without a clipboard: welcome, new members’ class, cell placement. District, branch, daughter church, cell and home fellowship nest as deeply as your church nests, and ministries cut across all of it. Move someone between groups and every list follows.
The visit that actually happens
Cell leads mark who was there from a phone on Sunday evening. When a member hasn’t been seen in a while, their own leader hears about it first, so what follows is a call from someone who knows them rather than a line in a report.
Nobody’s birthday gets missed
Birthdays, weddings and anniversaries, child dedications, graduations. The ones that use a standard card go out on their own. The ones that need designing become a task for whoever designs them, with a nudge the day before and another if it still hasn’t gone out.
Who’s on, and what it added up to
Ushering, choir, media, follow-up calls: each with an owner and a closing state. Access sits with the position rather than the person, so authority moves when leadership rotates. The district gets attendance and growth per cell, rolled up the way your structure nests.
The channels
your church already uses
Nobody will install an app to hear about Sunday. Email and SMS send directly. WhatsApp, where your church already lives, works in a particular way, and it is better said now than after you have signed.
Origamy writes the message with the right names and details filled in and hands it to a group admin: one tap to post, and the platform records that it went out. Leaders also get their own lane, with assignments and reminders kept separate from anything members see.
WhatsApp’s official API cannot post into a group it did not create, and caps the groups it does create at a handful of people. Any tool promising to blast your existing 300-member group is driving WhatsApp Web unofficially and risking a ban on your church’s main number. We will not build that.
Care,
handled with care
Counselling requests and benevolence are not campaigns. They stay with one named person, open until they are properly closed, and visible only to the office that should see them.
Needs pass through a welfare officer rather than being matched automatically to a giver. In a congregation of four hundred, “a young mother in Ketu who needs school fees” identifies someone even with the name removed.
Anything marked private is excluded from the AI’s context, from every report, and from any export that did not ask for it by name.
What this
is not
Not giving or accounting
We do not hold your tithe and offering ledger. Whatever your finance team uses, keeps using it.
Not livestream or website
No streaming, no sermon hosting and no page builder. Forms and their pages, yes. The rest stays where it is.
Not another app to download
Members install nothing. Leaders work in a browser on their phone. Everyone else is reached where they already are.
Every request closed,
every resident told
For estates, gated communities, blocks of flats and residents’ associations, where problems arrive by WhatsApp, phone and the gateman, and some of them get lost.
A proper welcome on move-in day
A short form puts each new resident on the register, and they get the pack by email and SMS: the estate rules, emergency numbers, how to pay the service charge and how to report a problem. Nobody has to ask the gateman whom to call.
A QR code in the lobby, a task for the team
Residents report a problem on a form, with a photo if they like. An urgent request gives your facility team a task due in two hours that escalates to the estate manager; a normal one is due in two days. When the team closes it as fixed, the resident gets an SMS.
Reminders in plain, factual words
Keep your levy register in Google Sheets or Excel, and Origamy syncs it every hour. Residents hear before the due date, on the day and when it is overdue. If it is still unpaid after a grace period, your facility manager gets a task to call.
What the executive actually needs
The estate manager gets a weekly report of requests by category and open tasks. The executive gets a monthly count of residents who are paid, due and overdue, without anyone’s name being published.
What this
is not
Origamy does not collect the service charge, keep your accounts or run the gate. Your register stays where it is, and residents install nothing.
No estate runs this with us yet. It is built from the same forms, tasks and reminders our church setup uses, and the first estates will work directly with us.
Keep donors, volunteers and the people you serve
in view
For NGOs, foundations and charity arms, where gifts go unthanked, volunteers sign up and hear nothing, and the numbers for the board get rebuilt by hand every quarter.
Thanked within a day
Your team records each gift on a short form. The donor gets a warm thank-you by SMS and email that never mentions the amount, and a first-time donor gets a personal call. About a year later they hear what their support did and are invited to give again.
From sign-up to the first shift
A new volunteer is welcomed the moment they sign up, with a link to book an orientation, and your coordinator gets a task to call. Orientations are reminded the day before, and anyone who hasn’t booked after two weeks gets one nudge.
Forms that do something with the answer
Registrations, field visits and feedback all go through forms your team fills in on a phone or shares by link. Every answer lands on that person’s record, and it can start a follow-up task or a message instead of sitting in a spreadsheet.
Numbers from the records themselves
Scheduled reports count donors, first-time donors, volunteers and whoever else you track, and go out to your team on the date you set. When the board asks how many people you reached, the answer comes from what was collected.
What this
is not
Origamy does not take donations or keep your accounts, and gift amounts are never asked for or stored. It does not yet produce grant reports in a funder’s own format. Tell us what yours needs.
No NGO runs this with us yet. It is built from the same forms, tasks and reminders our church setup uses, and the first NGOs will work directly with us.
Bring Origamy
to your community
One congregation or a whole district, one estate or several, one programme or a whole NGO, on the channels your people already use.
