ChurchCMS

## What is ChurchCMS?

ChurchCMS is a free, open source church management software licensed under MIT — built on a Laravel PHP backend with an API-first architecture. Self-host it on any VPS or server with full control over your data. No monthly fee. No vendor lock-in. Includes everything a church needs: member management, online giving, attendance tracking, events, member groups, role-based access with sub-admin support, family tree, photo gallery, bulletin, sermon library, blog, pages, messaging, newsletter, and automated birthday & anniversary wishes. Comes with a built-in website builder so your church goes live without a separate CMS — and a companion Android mobile app (Kotlin/Jetpack Compose) for members on the go. Developers will love the clean REST API, well-structured Laravel codebase, and MIT license that allows full customisation, white-labelling, and extension. Fork it, extend it, deploy it your way. Self-Host on your Server. Free forever.
