Loveworld Nation (Christ Embassy)

There is a branch four minutes from where you are standing.

KingsRoute maps every Loveworld branch on earth and routes you to the nearest one — turn by turn, inside the app. Open it in a city you have never been to and still make the 9:00 service.

01 — The Sunday problem

It is 9:40 on a Sunday in a city you flew into on Friday.

You know there is a branch here. You do not know its name, which street it is on, or whether the service has already started. So you search a group chat from 2019, screenshot an address, and paste it into a maps app that has never heard of a Cell fellowship.

KingsRoute exists so that the answer takes one tap instead of twenty minutes. Every branch — from a Regional HQ to a Cell meeting in a living room — is on one map, with directions served inside the app.

No member should miss a service because they were somewhere unfamiliar.

02 — What the app does

Eight things, built for the way members actually travel.

Everything below ships in the app today.

Discovery

Map-first discovery

Open KingsRoute and the map is already looking for you. Branches near your position appear as pins with an accuracy ring, sorted by real distance rather than by who filled in their listing first.

  • Mapbox tiles
  • GPS nearby
  • Detail sheets

Navigation

Turn-by-turn, without leaving the app

Directions are served inside KingsRoute, so the branch, the service time and the route stay on one screen. No bouncing out to a general-purpose maps app that drops the context you came for.

Search

Find any branch by name, city or tier

Infinite search across the whole network. Filter by hierarchy tier when you want a Zonal HQ rather than the Cell down the road, or by city when you are planning next week rather than this morning.

Offline

Downloaded regions keep working with no signal

Download the region before you fly. Map tiles, branch listings and routing stay available on the ground, in the basement car park, and on the roaming plan you did not buy.

Community

Brethren Carpool

A driver broadcasts a route and the seats available. Riders on the way request a pickup; the driver accepts or declines, and either side can cancel or report a route. Getting there is a shared problem, so it has a shared answer.

Personal

Favorites and your home church

Set one branch as home and it sits in the app for your quick access every Sunday — one tap to directions. Favorite the branches you visit when you travel, and they come back with you.

Alerts

Geofenced event alerts

When a branch near you is running a special service, KingsRoute can tell you while you are still near enough to go. Alerts are opt-in, per category, and every notification lands in a centre you can read later.

For church admins

Claim and manage your branch

Pastors and church administrators can claim a branch, correct its details, publish the service schedule, upload photos, and suggest locations that are not on the map yet. Claims are reviewed before they go live.

03 — Structure

The network is a hierarchy, so the map is too.

Every location on KingsRoute carries its tier. Filter to the level you need — a Regional HQ on a first visit, the Cell nearest your hotel on a Wednesday evening.

  1. L1

    Regional HQ

    The seat of a region. Large auditoria, multiple services, and the place to start in an unfamiliar country.

  2. L2

    Zonal HQ

    Coordinates the group churches within a zone and hosts zonal programmes.

  3. L3

    Group Church

    A congregation with its own building and weekly service calendar.

  4. L4

    Chapter

    A smaller gathering under a group church, often on a campus or in a workplace.

  5. L5

    Cell

    A fellowship meeting in a member's home. Shown at approximate coordinates unless you are signed in — see below.

04 — How it works

Three steps, start to seat.

  1. Step 01

    Open the app

    Smooth auth flow. The map finds your position and the nearest branches load.

  2. Step 02

    Pick a branch

    Check the tier, the service times and the distance in the detail sheet.

  3. Step 03

    Follow the route

    Turn-by-turn guidance to the door, with an ETA you can send ahead.

05 — Privacy by design

A Cell meets in someone's living room. We treat it that way.

Anyone who is not signed in receives coordinates fuzzed to roughly a one-kilometer radius — enough to know the fellowship is in the neighbourhood, not enough to stand at a family's front door.

  • FUZZING~1 km offset applied to every unauthenticated request.
  • AT RESTExact coordinates encrypted, decrypted only for authenticated members.
  • CONTROLSelf-service data export, account deletion, and a 30-day restoration window.
  • NEVERNo advertising, no sale of member data. GDPR-aligned throughout.

08 — Questions

Before you download.

Why does KingsRoute need my location?

To sort branches by how far they actually are from you, and to keep you on the route while you navigate. Your location is only read in the background during active navigation, or for features you switch on yourself such as event alerts. You can search by name or city without granting location access at all.

Is KingsRoute free?

Yes. There is no subscription and no advertising, and we do not sell member data.

Why is a Cell fellowship's location approximate?

Cells meet in members' homes. Signed-out visitors see a position fuzzed to roughly one kilometer; exact coordinates are encrypted and released only to authenticated members.

Does anything work without signal?

Download a map region before you travel and its tiles and branch listings stay available offline.

I pastor a branch. How do I claim it?

Open the branch in the app and choose "Claim this branch". Claims are reviewed before they go live; once approved you can edit details, publish the schedule and upload photos. If the branch is not listed at all, use "Suggest a location."

What is Brethren Carpool?

Members driving to a service can broadcast their route and the seats available. Riders along the way request a pickup, and the driver accepts or declines. Routes can be cancelled or reported.

How do I export or delete my data?

Both are self-service in the app. Deletion opens a 30-day restoration window, after which the account is removed permanently. Questions go to [email protected].
