The open-source CMS built for African churches and religious organizations # Ekklesia CMS An open-source, headless, multilingual content management system purpose-built for churches and religious organizations in Francophone Africa and the diaspora. ## The Problem Churches in Togo, DRC, Cote d'Ivoire, Benin, Cameroon, and the francophone diaspora in Belgium and France manage their online presence with tools that were never designed for them — WordPress is bloated and English-first, Western church software is priced in USD/GBP with no mobile money support, and everything else runs on WhatsApp groups and spreadsheets. Ekklesia is the tool that was missing. ## Features - **French-first admin panel** powered by Filament v5 - **Sermon management** — audio, video, transcripts, series, scripture references - **Event coordination** — calendar, registration, capacity management - **Member directory** — cell groups, baptism records, pastoral notes - **Giving records** — including mobile money (MTN, Orange, Wave) - **Multilingual content** — French, English, and local language support - **AI assistant** — drafts announcements, summarizes sermons, and answers how-to questions in French - **Headless REST API** — build your frontend in Next.js, Nuxt, React Native, or plain Blade - **Multi-tenant by design** — one installation, many churches, fully isolated data ## Tech Stack - Laravel 12 - Filament v5 - VitePress (documentation) ## Project Status Ekklesia is currently in **pre-beta active development**.
