Why It Matters

Why Kenyan Churches Choose Open Source Church Software With M-Pesa Support

For Kenyan churches, M-Pesa is not just a payment option — it is the primary way Kenyans move money. ChurchCMS is the open source church management system for Kenyan churches that integrates M-Pesa giving directly into the platform, allowing your congregation to tithe and give using the method they trust most.

Combine M-Pesa giving with a branded Android church app, built-in live streaming, and a member directory that manages your congregation from 100 to 100,000 members — all hosted on your own server at zero licensing cost — and ChurchCMS becomes the obvious platform for growing Kenyan ministries.

Whether your church is a neighbourhood fellowship in Mombasa or a multi-campus Nairobi ministry, ChurchCMS delivers the same complete feature set at zero cost. Every shilling saved on software is a shilling returned to your mission.
