Technology engineered to advance the Gospel
ShepherdCMS was created to free church leaders from fragmented software, bloated pricing, and technical barriers so they can focus on what matters most: shepherding their flock.
Why We Built ShepherdCMS
For years, churches faced an impossible dilemma. On one hand, western ChMS platforms were prohibitively expensive, billed in foreign currencies, and lacked local bank settlement or automated messaging. On the other hand, generic website builders like WordPress or Wix were completely disconnected from member databases, child safety check-in, and church treasury accounting.
We built ShepherdCMS as the unified solution: a production-grade multi-tenant platform that marries an enterprise church management back-office with 20 dynamic, turnkey church websites.
100% Giving Sanctity
We believe church tithes and offerings are sacred. We never take a percentage of giving. Through our automated Paystack & Stripe subaccount architecture, 100% of donations settle directly into the church's bank account.
Architectural Simplicity
Built on the modern Rails 8 Solid Stack (PostgreSQL, Solid Queue, Solid Cache). No Redis overhead, no fragile microservices. One dependable cloud platform serves growing churches with sub-second response times.
Complete Tenant Isolation
Every church operates in an isolated tenant scope. Member databases, financial records, and confidential pastoral visitation logs are strictly partitioned with field-level encryption.
Predictable 2-Tier Pricing
No complex per-member pricing tricks. Churches choose either our Community tier (.org.ng) or our Global Standard tier (.org/.com), with full access to every core management module.
