Accord

The brief

Churches, fellowships, ministries and gospel artists reach thousands of people on social media but have no path from "follows us" to "belongs here". Admin teams run attendance, departments, events and giving across spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups and paper registers. Accord gives organisations one system for the whole journey and gives members one app to follow and take part.

What we built

• A follower-to-member funnel: anyone can follow an organisation in the Accord app, and admins can invite followers into membership with the right roles.
• QR attendance check-in with location, so services and events capture who came without a register.
• Services, live streams and AI sermon summaries generated from YouTube transcripts.
• Groups, departments and events with RSVP.
• Giving through Paystack, Stripe and Flutterwave, with email, SMS and push messaging to segments.
• Prayer requests and an organisation wall.
• A super-admin console with impersonation, moderation tools and a safety centre.

Under the hood

A multi-tenant PostgreSQL schema behind a NestJS and Fastify API with Drizzle, Redis and Socket.IO. The admin is Next.js 15 on React 19, the marketing site is Astro, and the member app is Flutter with Riverpod and Isar for offline storage. Messaging runs on Twilio, AWS SNS, SES, SendGrid and Firebase; media on Cloudinary; monitoring on New Relic; deployment on Docker.
