Church.IO Profiles

Profiles is a humble little Rails 3 app meant to provide an online directory for churches and other close-knit communities.

This app was birthed out of OneBody, a monolithic application built for social networking, among other things. The scope of Profiles is much less ambitious, opting only to recreate the search functionality, profile page and related features instead.

BEWARE: this app is early ALPHA quality at the moment, so not everything works yet.
