Welcome to the

Congregation Toolbox

A new self-hosted way to help assist elders with shepherding a congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses.

The goal of this application is to help elders with their tasks — automating work and making it easier to find specific data, so they can focus on shepherding the flock.

Available on GitHub

Features

Schedule and manage midweek and weekend meetings. Coordinate meeting times, assign speakers, manage talk assignments, and keep track of meeting schedules with ease.

Track field service groups and ministry activities. Organize publishers into groups, monitor service hours, and manage territory assignments for effective field service coordination.

Manage literature inventory and requests. Keep track of literature stock, process requests from publishers, and monitor literature distribution to the congregation.

Track maintenance tasks and schedules for the Kingdom Hall. Schedule repairs, assign maintenance responsibilities, and monitor the condition of the facility.

Manage congregation announcements. Create, schedule, and publish announcements to keep the congregation informed of important updates and events.

Keep track of shepherd calls and elder assignments. Manage to-do lists, track visiting assignments, and ensure no shepherding responsibilities are overlooked.

Share information with the congregation. Publish news, updates, and important information that congregation members need to see.

Manage user accounts and roles with passkey support. Create accounts, assign roles and permissions, and secure authentication for system access.

Send meeting reminders and system emails. Automate email notifications for meetings, events, and important announcements to reach all members efficiently.

Receive live updates across the application. Get real-time notifications for important events, updates, and changes as they happen in the system.

Enable or disable features per deployment. Control which features are available in your instance, allowing for gradual rollouts and testing.

Hosting Options

Install the application on your own device using our easy-to-use installer. We manage the internet exposure through our infrastructure, so you don't have to worry about configuring networks or managing domain names. Perfect for congregations that want control over their data but prefer a simpler setup.

Complete control — run the frontend and backend in Docker containers exactly how your elders manage it. No dependencies on external services. Host on your own servers or infrastructure. Best for congregations with technical expertise who want complete independence and control over all aspects of deployment.
