About the Project

Built for real churches.
Free for any congregation.

OCM was designed around how a real church actually operates — with fellowship groups, serving departments, discipleship courses, and a leadership structure that values both accountability and flexibility.

It's open source so any congregation can adapt it to their own needs without paying for enterprise software. Self-host it on your own infrastructure, or fork and deploy to Vercel + Render in minutes.

What's Inside

Platform Features

  • Fellowship Groups

    Organise members into fellowship groups. Leaders manage membership and group activities from the dashboard.

  • Serving Departments

    Track which members serve in worship, hospitality, media, or ushering. Assign crew to services and manage equipment.

  • Discipleship Courses

    Run structured courses — track enrolment, progress, and completion across different cohorts of members.

  • Role-Based Access

    Pastors, Leaders, and Staff get full dashboard access. Members see their own groups and feed — no data leaks.

  • Community Feed

    A shared feed for posts, announcements, and updates. Members can react and comment; leaders can broadcast church-wide.

  • Bible & Reading Plans

    Built-in Bible reader with verse memorisation (spaced repetition) and reading plans members can join and track.
