Community

ChurchCRM isn’t made by a company. It’s made by volunteers around the world — developers, translators, testers, writers, designers, and church staff — who share one conviction: every church deserves access to high-quality management tools, free.

Where Community Happens

Discord is the real-time home — questions, feature discussion, translator coordination, and introductions all happen there. It’s free, it’s where open-source communities already gather, and conversation there feels like being part of something rather than filing a ticket.

GitHub holds everything durable: issues, discussions, and pull requests. docs.churchcrm.io is where churches learn to use the software day to day. The blog covers releases, church stories, and tutorials. YouTube has walkthroughs and product updates.

For anything private — security reports or general inquiries — email info@churchcrm.io or security@churchcrm.io (see the Security Policy).

Leadership & Decision Making

A small group of long-term core maintainers oversees architecture and releases. Contributors — developers, translators, designers, writers — improve the project day to day. Users — churches and individuals — shape direction through feedback. Major decisions happen openly on Discord and GitHub, not behind closed doors.

It’s not a top-down hierarchy, so some discussions take longer — the tradeoff for software that actually listens to the people using it.

History & Evolution

ChurchCRM has existed in various forms since the 1990s (as ChurchInfo). It’s still here because the community kept investing in it — fixing bugs, translating it, documenting it, supporting each other. That’s still how it works today: the project only improves because volunteers choose to make it better.

All community spaces — Discord, GitHub, anywhere else — follow our Code of Conduct.
