Primeira IEQ

What Primeira IEQ does

Primeira IEQ (legally Igreja do Evangelho Quadrangular, CNPJ 62.955.505/0066-02) is a local Christian congregation headquartered at Rua Alberto Folloni, 143 in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, affiliated with the Igreja do Evangelho Quadrangular (IEQ) denomination under the Quadrangular Brasil/Paraná umbrella. The organization conducts weekly in-person worship services, demographic-specific ministries (children, teens, young adults, mothers, seniors, deaf community, Hispanic congregation, entrepreneurs), and Small Group fellowship (Grupos Pequenos), delivering pastoral counseling, baptism services, and special events throughout the year.

The organization's core programmatic asset is the Trilho do Crescimento, a four-station spiritual development curriculum comprising Estação ALFA, Estação VIDA, Estação GRAÇA, and Estação LUZ. Two digital products operationalize this curriculum at scale: a mobile application distributed through Google Play and App Store under the inChurch white-label platform (br.com.inchurch.pievangelhoquadcuritiba), and an asynchronous online learning platform (EAD Primeira IEQ). The congregation also reaches remote participants via Facebook and YouTube live streaming and maintains active engagement channels on Instagram (@primeiraieqcuritiba), Twitter, and WhatsApp. Leadership centers on Pastor Silas Zdrojewski as a regular speaker at Tuesday worship services (TCL), with Pastor Guido Sangiorgi appearing as a guest.

Commercially, Primeira IEQ does not operate on a pricing model; revenue derives entirely from congregational tithes and offerings, consistent with its status as a Brazilian nonprofit religious organization. The firm employs 1–10 staff, has no disclosed subsidiaries, no funding rounds, no M&A history, and no recent restructuring events. Geographic footprint is single-site regional, confined to Curitiba with no evidence of multi-site expansion.

Core offering

Primeira IEQ is a local congregation of the Igreja do Evangelho Quadrangular (IEQ) denomination that delivers Christian worship services, Bible study through Small Groups (Grupos Pequenos), pastoral counseling, baptism services, and age-specific ministries. The church operates a structured spiritual development program called Trilho do Crescimento (Growth Path) with four course stations (ALFA, VIDA, GRAÇA, LUZ) delivered through its own online learning platform (EAD Primeira IEQ) and a proprietary mobile app available on Google Play and App Store. It serves members in Curitiba, Brazil including dedicated services in Portuguese and Spanish.

Product overview

Primeira IEQ operates as a church organization, not a technology company. The organization offers two digital products: a mobile application available on Google Play and App Store for church community engagement, and an e-learning platform (EAD Primeira IEQ) providing online spiritual growth courses. These products support the church's mission of spiritual development through the 'Trilho do Crescimento' program with four stations (ALFA, VIDA, GRAÇA, LUZ), along with age-specific groups (MAD for teenagers, ALTA for youth, Mães Que Vão Além for mothers) and downloadable materials (TCL scripts, GP materials, photos).
