Yes. Shepherd is built for African churches and works for Nigerian congregations. We already have churches in Nigeria using Shepherd today. Member management, attendance tracking, WhatsApp check-in, pastoral care and giving records all work. The one exception is online giving, which is for churches in Ghana only, in cedis, for now.
Your church records tithes, offerings and other gifts, cash included, against each member, and Shepherd gives you receipts and giving statements. Online giving (card, Mobile Money and WhatsApp GIVE, through Paystack) is for churches in Ghana only, in cedis, for now. Shepherd's Paystack account is registered in Ghana and can't take naira yet.
Yes! Shepherd has a free Seedling plan for churches with up to 50 members — no credit card required. Paid plans start at GHS 99/month and are billed in Ghana cedis (GHS).
