Cidade na Colina — “a city on a hill” — puts Brazil's evangelical churches on one map. Anyone can find a church nearby and its service times, or add their own in a couple of minutes without an account. It is a BIS product: the same decision-and-systems engineering behind our client work, pointed at a free, social-good platform.

What it is

One map for every church

Finding a church in a new city — or getting a small congregation found — usually means word of mouth and scattered social pages. Cidade na Colina makes it one simple, accessible place, built for people of every age and comfort level with technology.

No login to register

Anyone adds a church with just the essentials — no account, no friction. Submissions are curated and published within 48 hours.

Find churches near you

A live map with clustering and “near me” geolocation shows nearby churches and their service times.

WhatsApp-first

The main call to action is talking to the church directly on WhatsApp — the app most of its audience already uses.

Built for everyone

Large text, a high-contrast mode, a “listen” text-to-speech button, and voice input — designed for low app-literacy on any phone.

Installable PWA

Works on any phone or computer, light or dark, in Portuguese, English, or Spanish.

Open, attributed data

The catalog is seeded from OpenStreetMap (ODbL, with attribution) and enriched over time.

Built by BIS

Engineered end to end

Cidade na Colina is designed, built, and operated in-house at BIS — a Next.js app on Firebase Firestore, running on Google Cloud Run, shipped as an installable PWA in three languages.

Its service times are enriched with AI (Vertex AI Gemini with Google Search grounding), and its map is built on OpenStreetMap. It is the same engineering behind our client work, pointed at a free platform that helps people find a community.

For you

SaaS and consulting, from one team

If you have a product to build or an operation to optimize, BIS does the same for you — as software you run, or hands-on consulting. Cidade na Colina is what that capability looks like when we point it at a cause we believe in.
