# Welcome to Koinia

Help center for church administrators and leaders using Koinia.

Koinia is the platform to run your church: your **members** directory, **visitor** tracking, **treasury**, **announcements**, the **Sunday program**, **prayer requests**, and **WhatsApp** communication — all in one place.

This guide is for pastors, administrators, treasurers, and leaders who use the Koinia dashboard day to day.

## Before you start: two key concepts

* **Member** — a person in your church directory. They can exist **without** being able to sign in.
* **System access** — the ability to sign in with an email and password, together with a **role** (Pastor, Administrator, Treasurer, Leader, or Member).

Adding a member and granting them access are **two separate actions**. We explain it in [Members vs. access](/user-guide-english/miembros/miembros-vs-accesos.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.koinia.app/user-guide-english/en.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
