Ekklesia CMSBuilt for the African Church

An open-source, headless, multilingual content management system purpose-built for churches and religious organizations in Francophone Africa and the diaspora.

Why Ekklesia?

WordPress is overkill and culturally misaligned. Church management tools built for Western congregations don't understand African workflows. Ekklesia is the tool that was missing.

It handles what African churches actually need: sermon archives, event management, member directories, household linking, attendance tracking, giving records with fund management, prayer walls, devotionals, testimonies, reading plans, and bulk messaging — all from a clean admin panel that non-technical pastors and church secretaries can use with confidence.

And because it is open source, it belongs to the community it serves.
