The WhatsApp alternative for Christian groups
Your group chat was never built to run a community
WhatsApp is a closed box: invite-only, no discovery, a fresh group chat for every event and a spreadsheet to make sense of it all. Tersia gives Christian leaders one place for events, sign-ups, payments, prayer and people.
What WhatsApp can't do for a community
On WhatsApp
- A new group chat for every single event, then nobody can find the old one
- A 1024-person cap, so a growing community gets split across overflow groups
- To promote one event you copy and paste it into group after group by hand
- Always the same groups reaching the same people, so you never reach anyone new
- Events, the main chat and the planning all muddied into one stream
- No way to discover the group unless someone hands you an invite link
- RSVPs counted by reading the chat and keeping a spreadsheet
- Bank details pasted in the chat to take payment
On Tersia
- One community chat, organised into groups, plus a dedicated chat per event
- No member cap, your whole community lives in one place however large it grows
- Post an event once, on its own page, instead of pasting it into every group
- People nearby and people searching discover your events, so you reach new people
- An event page with built-in RSVPs and approvals, no spreadsheet
- People nearby discover your community and ask to join in a tap
- Take payment in the app, no bank details in a chat
- Prayer and a finite, calmer feed at the centre, not bolted on

WhatsApp alternative: common questions
Is Tersia really free for organisers?
Yes. Creating a community and running events is free for organisers. If you charge for an event, payment is handled in the app.
Can I move my WhatsApp group to Tersia?
Yes. Set up your community in minutes, then share one link in your existing WhatsApp group. Everyone lands in one place, and your group becomes discoverable to new people too.
Do I still get a chat like WhatsApp?
Yes, and a better one. You get one community chat organised into groups, plus a dedicated chat for every event, so you never spin up a new group chat or muddy the main one again.
Is Tersia just for young adults?
No. Tersia is open to all ages. Whatever your age, you are welcome to find your people, join a community and gather.
Is Tersia a faith app or a general one?
It is built for Christians. Prayer, communities and discovery are made for the church, so you find Christian gatherings without wading through unrelated, secular noise.
