## ⛪️ About ChurchCRM

ChurchCRM exists to serve the Church — every congregation, in every country, in every language. We believe that God’s people deserve world-class tools without the burden of licensing fees, vendor lock-in, or data ownership concerns. This software is our ministry: open-source, community-built, freely given.

Whether you’re a developer, designer, tester, or simply passionate about improving church management, there’s a place for you here!
